Disaster recovery is part of an agency’s Recordkeeping Disaster Management Plan that involves enacting the processes, policies and procedures related to the recovery of records in the event of disaster. The Recordkeeping Disaster Management Plan must be followed to protect records from further damage, stabilise the records and re-establish the records in a usable condition. Recovery should commence as soon as possible after the emergency situation has been stabilised.

This course aims to familiarise participants with the procedures and processes to be taken after a disaster occurs, implementing the Recordkeeping Disaster Management Plan. Planning for recovery after a disaster will be developed including an understanding of the effects of various disasters on different record types. The course includes processes for establishing a recovery operation, identifying roles of staff in the event of a disaster, maintaining and using a disaster recovery kit as well as assessing and performing recovery tasks.
