recovery plan

Path to restoration

A recovery plan is a documented strategy for restoring normal operations after a disruption—whether from natural disaster, cyberattack, financial crisis, or system failure.

In business contexts, it details backup procedures, communication protocols, and resource allocation: Every company needs a disaster recovery plan.

Recovery plans also appear in conservation, outlining steps to restore endangered species populations.
