8 Continuously improve our Disaster
Recovery/Business Continuity
procedures for critical systems.
IT systems are vulnerable to a variety of disruptions, ranging from minor short-term power outages to
severe natural disasters or man-made events. Without the flow of electronic information, critical
government functions can come to a standstill. IT must carefully prepare for extended service outag-
es with the goal of restoring services to the widest extent possible in a minimum time frame. Backups
preserve Augusta’s information assets and are performed on a regular basis for all materials that are
irreplaceable or are considered critical. IT’s business continuity plans and procedures lay out a
framework for prioritizing, mitigating, and recovering from adverse events as quickly as possible.
