Emergency Planning Disasters that can critically compromise the accessibility of knowledge include floods, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, employee sabotage, computer viruses, and theft. The effects of disasters can lengthen even after the restructure of physical damage. Simply, the earlier a business recovers from a disaster; it will experience lesser wide-ranging continuing effects of the disaster. Not only the thrashing of sales during a disaster is destructive for the company, "the loss of customers, vendors, inventory and employee records extend recovery times from weeks and months to years" (Carlson & Parker, 1998). However, if a company has a premeditated disaster recovery plan (DRP), it can reduce the nuisance of a disaster, whereas inappropriate preparations can result in a business experiencing liquidation of its bank accounts (Carlson & Parker, 1998).

In the Information Technology industry, Disaster Recovery (DR) security issues occur repeatedly. The critical security measures in the environment are frequently covered by the storage. However, these measures mostly do not prove to be enough. The need of the time is that the IT disaster recovery plans must address data security issues as well. It is also necessary that the storage managers consider and observe data security from the point-of-view of a wicked mugger. If these two strategies are applied, there are higher chances for companies to recuperate and improve...

Most of the strategies and procedures in disaster recovery of data and information taken up by the companies may not be adequate for the disaster recovery of knowledge. However, in case of emergencies, if a company has already planned for knowledge recovery, it may involve good data and information recovery plan. This is exceedingly important that companies take a diversity of approaches regarding emergency recovery in terms of knowledge management.
How to Protect Knowledge in Disastrous Events?

Information security can be assured by strategizing incident response. Incident response is, in fact, several steps taken in order to respond to data violations, malware eruptions and breaches etc. In a proper way. In turn, incident response directly ties-in to business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery in due course. The advantage of having an incident response is that if information system is taken down due to a flood, terrorist or hack attack or malware, the company would still have a business continuity and disaster recovery issue. Security incident response is thus really important while building a company's disaster recovery plans and technologies because no one knows about any future incidents. However,…
