Disaster Recovery Tip #19

Diversify your supply chain.

During a large-scale regional event, your business may experience delays in the receipt of goods and services. To avoid diminished efficiency, develop a list of redundant vendors for key supplies. For example, if your internet provider experiences an extended outage, you will want to have other options ready to go immediately (Cable, DSL, Air Cards, etc). Make arrangements with “backup” suppliers and vendors to obtain resources needed to facilitate critical operations and key functions.
