The latest edition of the Disaster Recovery Yellow Pages by Steven Lewis may well provide the answer. This resource guide is designed to meet the planning and restoration needs of a wide range of organizations needing to prepare for or recover from disaster. It can also serve as a useful resource for information managers as they perform vital records assessments, data protection, and restoration responsibilities. This guide includes a seven-page summary of what disaster recovery planning is, what should go into a disaster recovery plan, and a checklist of critical points in a disaster plan that must not be overlooked. The resource portion of the book organizes providers into five sections covering restoration services, mobile buildings, computer and emergency equipment, planning and data recovery software, and training publications and videos. Most of the listings provide only the company name, address, and telephone number within the specific index category. A few suppliers provide more detail about their services and supplies.
