SAMPLE - Michigan State University
Unit Project Organization Information
If the plan will be done
at unit level, this information form should be completed for both the college
and each unit plan.
Project Leader/Coordinator Name:
Unit, College, or Department:
Scope and Objectives (The area
covered by the disaster recovery plan, what is being worked for, and the course
of action that the unit intends to follow):
) :
Example:
The overall objectives of the [Unit]
Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) are to protect University resources and
employees, to safeguard the organization’s vital records, and to ensure the
ability of [Unit] to function effectively in the event of a severe disruption
to normal. The primary role of the DRP is to document [Unit]’s plan for
response, recovery, resumption, restoration, and return after severe
disruption.
The
Plan is a systematic guide from disaster to recovery. The basic approach,
general assumptions, and sequence of events that need to be followed will be
stated in clearly in the documentation that follows.
The Plan will be distributed to all key personnel, and they will
receive periodic updates. The general approach is to make the plan functional
regardless of what type of disaster occurs.
Assumptions:
(what is being taken for granted or
accepted as true without proof; a supposition: a valid assumption.):
Example:
-
Recovery
for anything less than complete destruction will be achievable by using
the plan.
-
Normally
available staff members may be rendered unavailable by a disaster or its
aftermath, or may be otherwise unable to participate in the recovery.
-
Procedures
are sufficiently detailed so someone other than the person primarily
responsible for the work can follow them.
Plan Organization (e.g. single consolidated plan at college
level, each unit will be producing a stand alone plan).
Dependent on plan organization, the following items may
need to be addressed by multiple project teams.
