What is Disaster Recovery?
Disaster recovery (DR) involves a set of policies and procedures to enable the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems following a natural or human-induced disaster. WikiPedia
When downtime exceeds time of recovery.
This is apart of the district emergency management and contingency plan
To document the specific procedures to be performed before, during and after a disaster is declared.

Tornado in Joppa
Joplin Schools did not simply rebuild in the image of its former
self. Instead, we seized the opportunity to become even better by implementing a one-to-one initiative, complete with a new all-digital curriculum.
We no longer use textbooks—even digital ones—but instead rely on online resources, such as Khan Academy and other flipped-classroom sites, WebQuests, Google Docs, Common Core crosswalks, and
content-specific digital sources.
PD for the staff - vital to success

Cloud IT Resources
- Costs Demand for "anytime, anywhere", 24/7 services Staff resources Environmental maintenance Workflow processes
Cloud computing is taking K12 by storm with fully 90 percent of K12 institutions relying on or implementing cloud technology in 2012, according to the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) According to a recent report released by Lenovo and Intel, What IT Leaders in K12 Need to Know about Cloud Computing, cloud technology can save districts up to 25 percent on IT costs within the next five years by outsourcing network maintenance and allowing schools to access low-cost or free educational software.

Considerations
Time of restoration/systemic down time RTO (Recovery Time Objective)
Cost of services
Staff resources costs
Bandwidth
Automation of services
Security risks
Complexity
Recovery point objective (RPO)
Disasters, unpredictable by nature, can strike anywhere at anytime with little or no warning. Recovering from one can be stressful, expensive and time consuming, particularly for those who have not taken the time to think ahead and prepare for such possibilities.
