recovery planning
Disaster response strategy
Recovery planning is the process of preparing strategies to restore normal operations after a disruption—whether from natural disaster, cyberattack, or system failure.
In business contexts, it overlaps with disaster recovery and business continuity: The company's recovery planning saved them after the ransomware attack.
Recovery planning also appears in mental health and addiction treatment, where it means developing personalized strategies to maintain sobriety or wellness: Her recovery planning included daily check-ins with her sponsor.
