Inventory
In the event of a disaster, complete, up to date, and comprehensive inventory records will assist your agency in replacing equipment, supplies, and furnishings as well as provide documentation for a State Self-Insurance Claim. Business Resumption Plans should include or consider:
- Inventory procedures for your agency´s equipment, supplies, furnishings, information, data, and records. How will the inventory be done? How often? Where will it be stored? How can it be accessed? How can it be utilized in the face of a disaster? Recovery in the event of a disaster will be more difficult if this information is not kept in a format or detail that is useful and accessible.
- Include details on the many ways in which an inventory can be used by your agency in the face of a disaster. For example, if your inventory is lost in a fire, it cannot be of use to you when replacing needed items or submitting a state property claim.
