Here are five tips to help ensure that your business is fully ready for the next disaster. 1.

Pick the right recovery locations Similarly, if you are preparing for a big disaster, you likely have physical locations that you can move to if your main business location is damaged or destroyed. Optimal plans will have more than one location identified, and have them as far apart as possible.
