Scenario 2: Records Disaster Prevention and Recovery Management Plan.

Mrs Brown was asked by her Education Officer Mrs. Simms to provide information about her Records Disaster Prevention and Recovery Management Plan. She explained to Mrs. Simms that when there is an impending disaster such as a hurricane, she would instruct her teachers to place documents in plastic bags or containers and cover the tables with plastic. She would follow the same procedure as she seeks to protect vital records in her office.
Mrs Simms told her that her actions were inadequate and she needed to develop a strategic plan to facilitate the process. She required the document on her next visit.

 Mrs Brown has asked for your assistance in developing the plan.

1. Explain to Mrs Brown why the Records Disaster prevention and Recovery Plan is important to her institution.
2. Explain the guidelines for developing the plan ensuring that she is aware of who should be members of the committee, the steps to be taken and the areas to be managed.
3. Creatively present your response.
