NETWORK DISASTER RECOVERY
INTRODUCTION
Communication channels are electrical signals or electromagnetic waves for communication then that type of communication is known as Telecommunication. A telecommunications network is a collection of terminal nodes and links which are connected to establish telecommunication between the terminals. The transmission links connect the nodes which use circuit switching, message switching or packet switching to pass the signal through the correct links and nodes to reach the correct destination terminal. Each terminal in the network assigned to a unique address so messages or connections can be routed to the exact terminal.
Telecommunication networks provide high reliability for normal operations and in the network associated hardware, software failures. Though disasters do happen, and can make huge damage impacts without excellent network contingency planning.
EXPLANATION OF PAPER
This topic mainly informs us the various approaches to plan for and manage recovery after disasters, so that all concerned can mitigate these events effectively. In today's world Communication is very crucial to survival and safety, over and above even for health and security of the world. With growing penetration of the Internet from residential use, combined with commercial and otherwise significant traffic being carried over backbone networks, impacts from service interruptions continue to be critical to many segments of society. Network disaster recovery (NDR) has become timelier and most crucial in the last few years, with catastrophic natural disasters occurring in different parts of the world due to various causes, with different respons...

SUMMARY
Communication is really important during disasters and Network disaster recovery (NDR) had became the timelier and most crucial in the last few years and Disaster Recovery Plans are generally part of a large and more extensive. The resources should be properly utilized. Network disaster should plan developing a proper short-term recovery plan and long-term recovery plan, including how to return to normal business operations during the disaster. Most important part of the network disaster management is prioritizing the order of functions that are resumed.

disaster and who is to preform those steps. With a clear, documented disaster recovery plan in place the risk from a disaster can be minimized. While there is no way to plan for every disaster that could happen, the likely disaster can be planned for and the risk minimize as much as possible. The disaster recovery plan is the documented efforts that IT will perform to minimize the risk of catastrophic failure. This document is a requirement for any IT audit that is performed on the Clinica Tepeyac information systems department.
First, I think that most companies have to stop looking at disaster recovery plan as a cost and view it as an investment with a positive return. Companies should analyze their return on investment, by figuring out the cost of an unprotected system downtime versus a protected system downtime and then divide that by the hourly\recovery. Plus, you have to figure in the total personal hours lost and the cost of lost

Often emergency response requires planning on multiple levels for successful preventive, preparedness, response and recovery coordination. This requires coordination from Federal, State, local, tribal, private sector and public sector critical infrastructure collaborative partners (DHS, 2015). Using the 2013 NIPP as a framework for collaborative efforts, Emergency Services Sector staff become involved in event coordination, risk management that improves the understanding of vulnerabilities to threats and consequences of those threats. They also provide their collaborative partners with the necessary tools, information and best practices that allow a more effective assessment of risks and the decisions made regarding those identified
Every disaster incident that occurs, varies in size and complexity based upon on the elements involved. However, through effective planning and use of the Incident Command System (ICS), agencies involved can coordinate a unified response to address all-hazards. One example incident which used ICS was the Duke Energy Diesel Spill of August 19th, 2014. First, to become familiar of with ICS, a brief history of its inception and how it is utilized to address any hazards will be provided. Then, a summary of the Duke Energy Diesel Spill incident will be provided. Afterward, an examination will be conducted into the utilization of ICS during the Duke Energy Diesel Spill. Overall, by better understanding the utilization of ICS, agencies can be better
Both man-made and natural disasters are often devastating, resource draining and disruptive. Having a basic plan ready for these types of disaster events is key to the success of executing and implementing, as well as assessing the aftermath. There are many different ways to create an emergency operations plan (EOP) to encompass a natural and/or man-made disaster, including following the six stage planning process, collection of information, and identification of threats and hazards. The most important aspect of the US emergency management system in preparing for, mitigating, and responding to man-made and natural disasters is the creation, implementation and assessment of a community’s EOP.
The National response plan outlines four key actions the disaster coordinator should take. They are gaining and maintaining situational awareness, activate and deploy key resources and capabilities, coordinating response actions and demobilizing. Throughout the response it is essential that responders have access to critical information. During the initial response effort the situation is will change rapidly. Situational awareness starts at the incident site. For this reason it is essential that decision makers have access to the right information at the right time. By establishing an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) all key responders are brought ...
Every city and state has specific details in their emergency response plan, and in order ensure aid and support, “state and local governments must adopt the NIMS to receive federal preparedness assistance through grants, contracts, and other funding” (Sauter & Carafano, 2012, p. 245). Sauter and Carafano (2012) noted, “The NIMS attempts to ensure interoperability among federal, state, and local assets. It establishes procedures for managing operations; conducting training; and setting requirements standard terminology, and common procedures” (p. 245). The National Incident Management System (NIMS) model are applied and utilized for premeditated or unexpected incidents.
It is basic in the present society for each business, vast or little, to create and keep up a Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery Plan (BC/DR). This sort of plan is fundamental to the proceeded with the operation of your business and gives a stage to recover from an overwhelming occasion. Likewise, with any emergency plans you create, it can be best summed up with the relationship is that It is there to remind you how to think when you are set in a position where it's difficult to think and Something that everybody can identify with. There are numerous segments to be incorporated into a BC/DR Plan, a large portion of which are altogether outfitted towards distinguishing the essential resources that keep the business running, recognize procedures
The northern blackout of 2003 should be analyzed, in order to gain awareness of the failures leading to the disaster, to prevent similar disasters from occurring in the future. Learning about the failures will help to engineer a more successful model of the system. Many improvements can be made in the areas of communication, safety training and system improvements. Implementing these changes are essential as they are crucial to maintaining a stable economy, security and safety (Allen, Stuart and Wiedman, 2014).
Incident response the assessment of the ability to organize and respond to any disasters, terrorist attack or security breach. Determine how a disaster is handle if it was man made. Identify if there is an updated date disaster plan available and are the step followed to handle the disaster. If the disaster is not adequately handle or if an updated disaster plan is not available, correct all areas and repeat an incident response during the next quarter. Incident response prepares for all emergences be it a disaster, cyber-attack or terrorist attack.
Disaster Recovery Planning is the critical factor that can prevent headaches or nightmares experienced by an organization in times of disaster. Having a disaster recovery plan marks the difference between organizations that can successfully manage crises with minimal cost, effort and with maximum speed, and those organizations that cannot. By having back-up plans, not only for equipment and network recovery, but also detailed disaster recovery plans that precisely outline what steps each person involved in recovery efforts should undertake, an organization can improve their recovery time and minimize the disrupted time for their normal business functions. Thus it is essential that disaster recovery plans are carefully laid out and carefully updated regularly. Part of the plan should include a system where regular training occurs for network engineers and managers. In the disaster recovery process extra attention should also be paid to training any new employees who will have a critical role in this function. Also, the plan should require having the appropriate people actually practice what they would do to help recover business function should a disaster occur. Some organizations find it helpful to do this on a quarterly or semi-annual basis so that the plan stays current with the organization’s needs.
In order to fully understand the concept of a contingency plan, there are a few aspects which need to be explored. We must first define what a contingency plan is, followed by an explanation of why contingency plans are so valuable. Furthermore, an analysis of the implementation of contingency plans should be performed. Lastly, a comparison of such plans from other industries should be done, in order to comprehend the differences in both purpose and criteria.
Emergency management is often described in terms of “phases,” using terms such as mitigate, prepare, respond and recover. The main purpose of this assignment is to examine the origins, underlying concepts, variations, limitations, and implications of the “phases of emergency management.” In this paper we will look at definitions and descriptions of each phase or component of emergency management, the importance of understanding interrelationships and responsibilities for each phase, some newer language and associated concepts (e.g., disaster resistance, sustainability, resilience, business continuity, risk management), and the diversity of research perspectives.
