Disaster recovery can be generalized. A corporation could have a disaster recovery plan for what to do if there is a fire at the main office, etc. RJFJR 17:48, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Business continuity planning vs. Emergency management
The term 'Disaster recovery' is used in both these sectors, but with different meaning. Currently the article mix the two domains together, with emphasis on BCP. It would be preferable to make it explicit. --rxnd ( t | € | c ) 09:47, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree. The relationship between business continuity, disaster recovery and emergency management is often misunderstood. Clarification here would be beneficial. I will apply some thought.
We somehow need to distinguish between Business Continuity Planning (the overall 'pre-incident' planning exercise), Disaster Recovery (the aspect more related to planning for and recovering from the incident itself), and Emergency Management (the managing of the incident whilst it is in progress). Where these definitions are placed, and how they are worked out, is the moot point. Binarygal 30 August 2006
