Methods of Communication/Awareness A disaster recovery plan has to be properly managed, including responsibilities’ assignment, schedule implementation, documentation, and the development of appropriate awareness campaigns (Erbschloe, 2003). All employees should be highly aware of the plan and trained to know the details that may influence the quality of disaster response. Awareness and training of employees cannot be neglected in a disaster response team because the more employees know, the better they understand what can be done next or how to avoid complications. Stakeholders are investors, employees, and their families who may face risks when a disaster occurs (Erbschloe, 2003). If I were a part of the disaster recovery planning team of an organization, the process of building awareness among employees and external stakeholders would be based on such steps as creating motivational posters to underline the role of each team member, writing employee newsletters to provide all stakeholders with clear instructions, and making e-mail announcement lists to make sure that all stakeholders are involved and aware. Corporate web portals may be used to promote communication between all team members. These methods of communication should improve people’s understanding of a disaster recovery plan, its mission statement, and implementation and introduce a basic description of all important steps. Frequency of Testing Testing and rehearsing are the two important parts of a disaster recovery plan with the help of which it is possible to run a live disaster simulation. Many employees and their leaders believe that these steps have a lot of organizational and personal benefits. Still, there is no clear answer concerning the frequency of testing disaster recovery plans because this process depends on the availability of the resources, employees’ intentions, and leadership (Whitman, Mattord, & Green, 2014). Some people believe that it is enough to test plans once per month or once per year, but the statistics show that quarterly testing is the most widely chosen option (Teplow, 2017). Frequent testing may decrease the level of trust in a system, and no rehearsals may question plans’ importance. Therefore, quarterly checks provide a solid backup plan for a company. Such frequency is effective because it reminds about the worth of each person involved in a disaster recovery plan and determines the objectives that cannot be forgotten. Finally, there are many special circumstances when disaster recovery plans are important, and people should remember about them to be ready for them. For example, earthquakes or wildfires can influence the work of organizations. A quarterly frequency of testing and rehearsals is effective due to the possibility to consider the latest weather changes and involve new people in a process. Impact of New and Changing Technologies The evolution of new technologies and marketing/feedback cycles cannot be neglected in a disaster recovery process because of several important reasons. First, new technologies lead to considerable improvements in services. They may help to entail risks and introduce new decisions on how to use different sources. For example, the feedback cycle can be improved to enhance a product’s competitive position, improve its functionality, and change cost-effectiveness (Erbschloe, 2003). If employees are not ready for s
