The purpose of a Disaster Recovery Plan is to enable the rapid recovery of normal business operations for the facility in the event of a disaster or other work disruption. During the recovery process, the plan will aid in operations continuity thereby providing organizational stability. The plan facilitates recovery by providing information necessary to respond to a disaster, notify necessary personnel, assemble recovery teams, and resume business operations thereby minimizing losses.

The Disaster Recovery Plan is based on the premise that all or part of GENCO's facility or critical equipment has suffered physical damage or is inaccessible in such a way as to render it inoperable. A disaster may result from equipment failure, human error, civil disruptions, natural disasters, comprehensive loss (act of God), or any combination of these.
