Beginning a Disaster Recovery Plan Today’s Restoration Procedures and T h l Technology • • • • Water/Fire Damage Restoration Electronics & Corrosion Control Records & Information Media Recovery Decontamination & Microbial Remediation Putting the Plan to Work • Emergency Response Phase • Business Resumption Phase SECTION ONE What Can Happen? SINGULAR DISASTERS Commercial Structure Fires BEFORE Hill County, Texas Courthouse AFTER AFTER Hill County, Texas Courthouse Oklahoma City Federal Buildings World Trade Center 2001 Echelon Building - Austin, TX 2010 Echelon Building - Austin, TX 2010 COMMUNITY WIDE DISASTERS Hurricane Season 2004 & 2005 Hurricane Ivan & Jeanne 2004 Hurricane Ike 2008 Texas Tornado Damage Iowa Floods Nashville 2010 Nashville 2010 January 9, 2010 Freeze SECTION TWO Starting a Disaster Recovery Plan What is Disaster Recovery y Planning? g Disaster Recovery Planning (defined) – The process of creating and maintaining a plan that clearly defines the processes, policies and procedures of restoring operations ti that th t are critical iti l to t the th resumption of business, including regaining access to data, communications workspace communications, workspace, and other business processes after a natural or human-induced disaster. What is Disaster Recovery y Planning? g Disaster Recovery Planning (contd.) (contd ) A comprehensive Disaster Recovery Plan should also address: dd • • • Pre-loss preventative measures Emergency procedures Post-loss recovery efforts The p plan should be read by, y, and be accessible to, all personnel within the organization Disaster Recovery y Planning g Why y do businesses need to have a Disaster Recovery Plan in place? g what needs to be done Knowing before, during, and after a disaster strikes can: • • • Prevent p panic and uncertainty y Reduce the extent of the damage Help the business carry out an organized recovery effort to get back up and running quickly (i.e. reduce business interruption) Key y Elements of a Disaster Recovery y Plan 1. 2. 3. 4. Goals 5. 6 6. 7. 8. Risk Analysis Simplicity Preparation Business Impact Analysis y ((BIA)) Maintenance Practice Execution Key y Elements of a Disaster Recovery y Plan 1 GOALS 1. You must determine and prioritize the goals for your organization that you hope to achieve through your Disaster Recovery Plan in the event a disaster strikes Key y Elements of a Disaster Recovery y Plan 2 SIMPLICITY 2. Do not complicate the plan! A simple plan with the primary goals and priorities clearly stated is much easier to accomplish than a complex procedural plan • • • Paralysis by analysis Pre-loss priority checklist “KISS” - Keep it Short and Simple Key y Elements of a Disaster Recovery y Plan 3 PREPARATION 3. Know what contingency plans are in place for any local emergency • Community contingency plans exist for city city, county county, state, state and regional disasters • Have a copy of them on hand in order to see how your facility fits into the overall plan Key y Elements of a Disaster Recovery y Plan 3. PREPARATION (contd.) In the case of a disaster, entry to your building is predicated on your personall relationship l ti hi with ith government agencies such as: • • • • • • Local police department Local fire department National Guard FEMA ATF FBI Having a relationship with these officials may help expedite your recovery effort ff t Key y Elements of a Disaster Recovery y Plan 4. BUSINESS IMPACT ANALYSIS (BIA) What is the purpose? • To quantify the hard cost of any given portion of the business being inoperable Key y Elements of a Disaster Recovery y Plan 4. BUSINESS IMPACT ANALYSIS (contd.) Looks at the interdependencies of the departments and locations within the organization g Sets priorities for restoration based on the impact to the business The BIA defines: defines • The window of time available to resume business operations • The time-line of the restoration project • The need for use of alternate facilities during the recovery period Key y Elements of a Disaster Recovery y Plan 5. RISK ANALYSIS Calculate the probability that a loss will occur within the organization g • • • • • Tornadoes Hurricanes Earthquakes q Flooding Freezing Can be based upon p factors such as: • • • Past experiences Geographic location Age of your building Key y Elements of a Disaster Recovery y Plan 5. RISK ANALYSIS (contd.) Identify the business’ dependency upon critical business partners such as: • • • • • • Utilities companies Temporary power Suppliers Large customers Disaster response company Subcontractors Key y Elements of a Disaster Recovery y Plan 5. RISK ANALYSIS The vital documents within each business unit must be identified, and the locations of each written into the plan to ensure recovery Duplication or safe storage should be considered for crucial documents In a manufacturing or distribution environment, the critical assets, equipment and single points of equipment, failure that can shut down business operations are identified Plan should arrange g for either duplication or quick replacement/restoration of these assets Key y Elements of a Disaster Recovery y Plan 6. MAINTENANCE Information needed to make the plan work may change over time time, such as: People’s telephone numbers People People’s s job duties Priorities and goals for the organization • Establish E t bli h regularly l l scheduled h d l d dates to review the plan • Conducting a formal review approximately every 6 months will be sufficient in most cases Key y Elements of a Disaster Recovery y Plan 7. PRACTICE Set up p a mock disaster and work through your Disaster Recovery Plan Practice your plan periodically to orient new employees Key y Elements of a Disaster Recovery y Plan 8 EXECUTION 8. Stay with the plan – “Plan Plan A A” Assume nothing Success is often determined by the organization’s ability to adapt and overcome • Have a “Plan B” for backup SECTION THREE Today’s Restoration Procedures And Technology Water Damage Restoration Evaluating g Water Damage g 1. Identify affected areas 2. Determine the Category g y of water damage 3. Determine the Class of water damage 4. Establish the drying plan Categories of Water Damage Category C t 1: “Clean Water” Category 2: “Gray Water” Category 3: “Black Water” 9 Note: Most natural disasters will contaminate buildings with ith Categor Category 3 water ater Classes of Water Damage Why determine the class off water t damage? d ? It is used to determine the initial rate of evaporation and dehumidification capacity p y needed. Dehumidification needs are most often determined by g of the the cubic footage loss area. Classes of Water Damage Class 1 • Least amount of water absorption Class Cl 2 • Large amount of water absorption Class 3 • Greatest amount of water absorption Class 4 • Specialty drying situations Primary y Water Damage g Primary or “Direct” water damage • May be a singular event, easily cleaned up and with damage limited to precisely what the water came in contact with Secondary y Damage g What is secondary damage? Damage that is not a direct result of physical contact with water Primary cause of secondary damage? Excessive humidity(usually over 60%) • Use off iimproper recovery procedures U d such as dehumidification that is inadequate to the facility size or rate of evaporation • Unknown conditions that are either missed or not accessible during the initial assessment phase • Failure to respond in a timely manner Dehumidification Most Important Aspect of Water Damage Restoration: C t lli Humidity Controlling H idit Types yp of Dehumidifiers What are the two main types yp of dehumidifiers? Refrigerant Units Desiccant Units Refrigerant g Units Pulls humid air over evaporation coils (works by condensation) Work best at warmer temperatures, high humidity, and on porous materials Most jobs are best served by the refrigerant system Two types of refrigerant units • Conventional – Can become ineffective at temperatures below 65 degrees. • Low Grain (LGR) – Effective at lower temperatures than conventional refrigerants Desiccant Units Humid air p passes over a desiccant pad that absorbs moisture Preferable method for: • • Low temperatures • Drying low permeable materials such as wood flooring and cabinets • D Deep d down d drying i Large areas and more complicated projects j The larger units are portable and generally do not require an external source of electricity Fire and Smoke Damage Fire & Smoke Damage R t Restoration ti Whatt B Wh Burned? d? Wood/Paper Plastics, Plastics carpet carpet, insulation, etc The Acidityy level of the soot will be determined by what burned inside the facility facility, the byby products of the fire Electronics Restoration & Corrosion Control (from water and/or fire g ) damage) Electronics Restoration What are some examples of electronics that can be restored? • • • • Servers Audio components Computers Industrial main frame computers Basic approach to restoration on each is similar Electronics Restoration Begins with disassembly Followed by decontamination of the internal components with de-ionized water and a non-ionic surfactant In the case of fire or smoke damage, compressed air or damage detailing tools such as paintbrushes or even Q p may y be used tips Electronics Restoration After electronics are cleaned and decontaminated, they are placed in a special drying oven at 125º for 8 8-10 10 hours After decontamination, they are reassembled, and in some i t instances specialty i lt equipment i t can be recertified by a factory technician Measuring g Corrosion Potential PH – Measures Acidity/Alkalinity Even slightly acidic contaminates may cause corrosion to some materials The Th higher hi h the th humidity, h idit the more active the corrosive elements will be Corrosive soot can be measured with a Saltesmo Test Measuring g Corrosion Potential Most common corrosive contaminant is hydrogen chloride The Saltesmo Test is a very effective method for measuring the presence of halogenide surface contamination High humidity amplifies the effect th ff t off these th corrosive elements RECORDS & INFORMATION MEDIA RECOVERY What Is Information Media? Library collections Books & bound volumes Magazines & newspapers Maps and charts Paper based documents & archives Film media Photographic collections Magnetic media And many other possibilities… possibilities Do I Have Back Ups And If So Where Are They? As companies and organizations have become more involved in mergers and acquisitions, the definition of what is “vital” seems to have changed We are seeing changes in laws and codes governing the care and custody of various types of information (HIPAA & Sarbanes-Oxley) Because of these changes… we have noticed that many organizations are keeping information that they have no idea of it’s importance or even where it is located Recommendations Decide quickly if you have back ups Do you have the time and space to start recovery that minute minute… and if not do you have access to a freezer? What are your alternatives and when should you call a professional? Freeze Drying y g Emergency g y response p is essential to the success of the process Immediately have documents or papers/media frozen at 14º F to 32º F The first 24 hours are critical to reduce the damage FLOOD DAMAGE BOOKS AFTER CLEANING & DRYING Document Restoration Documents, while Documents still frozen, are placed inside the true freeze-drying chamber Sublimation The theory Th th behind b hi d the th freeze dry process is called Sublimation Converts water from a frozen solid state to a gas without going back through a liquid state Liquid Li id state t t is i where h damage occurs Freeze Dry y Theory y Decontamination & Microbial Remediation Mold Conditions for Growth of Microorganisms Air Favorable Stagnant Unfavorable Fast Moving Temperature 59-86 F Below 55 F Humidity High Low Water Activity Above 60% Below 40% pH Acid Alkaline Mold and Odor Prevention Remove wet, non salvageable materials Remove moisture from air and structural materials Apply an EPA registered g biocide to affected areas and materials Mold Remediation Licensing g States requiring q g licensing g to perform mold remediation Louisiana Texas Containment HVAC Decontamination Clean & Decontaminate All Supply, Return & Exhaust Ductwork, Diffusers, Grilles & Registers Remove, Disinfect And /Or pp y Duct Lining g Seal The Supply With An Anti-fungicidal Coating Source So rce Remo Removal al and Contact cleaning NADCA certification HVAC Decontamination Putting g the Plan to Work Emergency g y Response p Phase Initial notification • • • • First call Call list/call tree Team responsibilities Meeting location and time established Command center • Temporary • Permanent Communications • Public relations • Employees • Customers Emergency g y Response p Phase Communications (contd (contd.))
