$1.$ Brainstorm three types of disasters a business may encounter; consider data loss, privacy breaches, file access, emergencies, pandemics, business interruption, etc.

$2.$ Think about some ways the business could prevent the situation from occurring $($if possible$).$ If it is not possible to prevent the situation, how can the business recover from it$?$ Try to be specific and realistic.

$3.$ List what steps need to be taken to recover from the disaster. Consider who would be involved in this process. What are the trade$-$offs $($for example, a hot site is more expensive than a cold site, but will allow faster recovery$).$
