How to fix what is broken and resume business as usual seems a basic concept to grasp, yet the crown prince nation of the free world allowed countless thousands of people to suffer more than necessary because of inadequate response to the hurricane. Anticipating the worst-case scenario, it seems, may be the best measure to take in formulating a disaster recovery plan for your business.
