Blue Shield. I find that the National Institute for Standards and
Technology is a great resource. If you do an Internet search on NIST IT
Contingency Planning you will get a few templates and guides.
Also, Federal Emergency Management Agency has put together some
information at http://www.ready.gov/business/plan/planning.html
In addition, there's been several studies of problems after 9/11 and
Katrina out on the Internet. The two biggest lessons were:
1) Human life is the most important resource so make sure you have
really good contact information with multiple modes of communicating in
place including phone / text / email / web. That should be your number
one priority. Also try to have some kind of check-in and bulletin board
to leave messages. Sahana - http://www.sahana.lk/ - is a free and open
source disaster management tool and you can take a look at their site to
get some ideas. They are currently running a site for Haiti and are
used by New York City for their disaster management plans.
2) Treat it like an insurance policy. Over 65% of businesses without a
disaster plan never made it back into business after an incident.
Hope this helps - feel free to ask me questions.
