Answer 1

Disaster recovery plans involves a set of procedures, some policies to protect or recover a bussiness in case of occuring any disaster.it is in documented forms and these documents contains all the steps which organization or company has to follow when some incident /disaster occur.

There are mainly there kind of disaster :
