Objective

The purpose of this two-part project is to familiarize the student with recovery planning, starting with the BIA and continuing with a system recovery plan. By completing the two documents, the student will gain practical knowledge of two key components of the contingency planning process. The project will enable the student to see and understand the required standards in practice, as well as the details that should be covered within the recovery planning processes.
