Subject: Disaster plans, Risk assessments, Risk Mitigation, Insurance and other fun fun fun stuffHi Folks
New Year, old topic…
I have been battering my head against the DCC Disaster Plan for a while, and each time I time I think I am getting my head round it, someone helpfully talks to me and suggest a whole new load of stuff to chew over.
The latest one is looking at Risk Assessment to HER collections (ie what are the likely risks and how likely are they to strike); and how you can mitigate the risks and/or insure against them.
A related topic is that to insure something you have to value it - and how do you value HER collections, where some things might be unique?
So has anyone looked at these aspects in particular of disaster planning, and be willing to share thoughts? Or just has some thoughts?
I have trawled the archives to see if there is anything on this, and there isn't on this stuff particularly. There are some old discussions of Disaster planning generally though.
If anyone is willing /able to send me any copies of their plans I would be interested to see them.
best wishes
