Disaster Planning in the UW CAUP VRC
Reduce risk
    “Funds spent prior to an emergency to
mitigate damage are funds well spent. Every
dollar spent in preparation and mitigation can
save seven dollars in recovery” (Flynn, 2007;
                Yeoman, 2006).

Flynn, Stephen, 2007. The Edge of Disaster: Rebuilding a Resilient Nation.
           Random House: New York, NY.

Yeoman, Brian, 2006. Houston Disaster Recovery. Paper presented at the
          University of Washington Business Continuity Symposium,
          November 6 in Seattle, WA.
Provide resources
 During and after an emergency, staff may
 need materials in the short term for basic
survival; they will need clear instructions on
 what to do, and they will need redundant
communication channels in different media
                    formats.
