Amateur Sports League You are the new manager of a nonprofit amateur soccer league. The league’s board of directors asked you to develop a disaster recovery plan for its main office. The main office consists of a small storefront with two back rooms: one room is the office, with all of the electronic equipment and paper files; the other is for storage of non-electronic equipment. The staff members — you, an administrative assistant, and an information technology (IT) specialist — work in the office. The electronic equipment in the office includes two desktops, a laptop, an external hard drive for backups, a wireless router, and two printers. In addition, each staff member has a smartphone.

Do This: Choose either a natural or man-made disaster. Create a disaster recovery plan for the Amateur Sports League that outlines emergency strategies, backup procedures, recovery steps, and a test plan. Assign staff members' roles for each phase of the disaster recovery plan.
