With this card, each ERT member has this contact information close at hand when a disaster strikes. I discuss contact-information cards in more detail in the section “Emergency contact information,” later in this chapter. Chapter 2: Bootstrapping the DR Plan Effort Step 5 — Identify basic recovery plans This step takes you closer to the meat in the sandwich — identifying basic recovery plans that the interim DR planners need to write. In the preceding sections, you create the Emergency Response Team (ERT), work on the procedure for declaring a disaster, and discuss issues related to communications during a disaster.
After the initial kickoff meeting, the DR project team should probably meet every week to discuss progress, issues, and any adjustments you need to make to the project plan. The project manager should publish a short status report every week that you can review in the meeting. You can send the status report to the steering committee members to keep them up to date on how the project is progressing. You need to identify and manage many more details to manage a project that spans many departments, which a DR project usually does.
