The Importance of Disaster Recovery Planning for Tennessee Nonprofits

When a disaster strikes, the first thing a nonprofit organization must do is assess the damage. This is where a disaster recovery plan comes in. A disaster recovery plan is a document that outlines how a nonprofit will continue operations after a disaster.

A disaster recovery plan should include:

-A list of critical functions and the employees who perform them
-A list of essential supplies and equipment
-A list of backup facilities
-A list of backup suppliers
-A communication plan

Creating a disaster recovery plan can seem like a daunting task, but it is essential to the survival of a nonprofit organization. By taking the time to create a disaster recovery plan, a nonprofit can ensure that it will be able to continue its mission even in the face of adversity.
