CCIQ Disaster Recovery Checklist http://www.cciq.com.au/images/floods/FS7_Business_Recovery_Checklist.pdf

Plus a few extra tips from me:

1. Document everything that happened, everything that you do and key decisions that you make.

2. When everything settles down assess how you have responded and identify the lessons that you have learned from the experience.

3. Be prepared for the next disaster. Complacency and an attitude of “we have had our bad luck nothing else will happen” is the worst thing we can do.

4. Undertake a formal risk assessment and document strategies to manage your risks

5. Prepare an emergency plan for your organisation and develop a complimentary business continuity plan.
