Disaster Recovery and Evacuation Plan

Disaster Recovery Plan

It’s imperative for businesses today to have a disaster recovery and evacuation plan. Should a natural disaster occur or a terrorist attack cripple a business, getting systems back on line quickly or knowing what systems to shut down to prevent further damage could be paramount to returning a company to fiscal health. 

CrestPoint Solutions offers disaster recovery planning. As experts in floor plan layout design and infrastructure management, we capture detail such as HVAC controls, AC feeder breaker positions, UPS main disconnects, gas and water service shut off valves, emergency fire sprinkler controls and first aid stations, battery disconnect and generator locations in drawings and tie them to emergency contact personnel. Knowing where to locate shut off values or breakers could prevent serious physical damage to equipment and a building’s structure.  

Evacuation Plan

Disasters, whether natural or influenced by man, can happen quickly and without warning. The events of hurricane Katrina, the attacks of September 11, and the recent flooding in the mid-west will not soon be forgotten. Having the necessary means to know how to exit a building safely during an emergency is crucial to preventing injury, property damage and most importantly saving lives.

In the event an environment or building condition is found to be unsafe, CrestPoint Solutions evacuation plan will identify the safest and quickest exit routes. Our plan will clearly determine the necessary chain of action to take to ensure the safety of the people present and preserve business assets. Many organizations have offices around the globe.  They are connected by data centers and through network facilities and are often in areas prone to natural disasters. Consequences could be severe if not well planned for disaster recovery or with a proper evacuation plan.
