Comments: There is only one type of Disaster Recovery Team because it is a specialty and based on level of devastation; however, the team possesses different personnel types/roles. The team members should be equipped with their own laptops, cell phones, and vehicles, and should be able to stay based on severity of incident (i.e., Site-Specific and Incident-Specific). Team size, expertise, and functional requirements will be determined at the disaster location. |
