STEP FOUR: Verify Internal Documentation

It is imperative that ALL agency documentation is in place, up-to-date, and accessible in case of a disaster. Locate documentation and ensure that necessary copies of documents are placed in the Emergency Succession Folder or that the location is noted in the Succession Planning Binder. In addition, the majority of this information can also be stored on a USB key, on a wiki or stored on the Internet.

You can use the following checklist to identify important organizational documentation and where it is located in your agency.
