Honolulu, Hawaii - July 4, 2025 - Atlas Insurance Agency, a Hawaii business insurance consulting firm, has released a new blog post to assist Hawaii-based businesses in building robust disaster recovery plans to support prompt recovery after disruptive events. The article, titled "How to Build an Effective Disaster Recovery Plan," outlines key steps businesses should take to minimize downtime, restore critical operations, and coordinate recovery efforts in the wake of weather events, cyberattacks, equipment failure, or other unexpected disasters.

The blog explains the purpose of a disaster recovery plan (DRP), how it differs from a business continuity plan, and lays out a seven-step approach for constructing one. These steps include conducting a risk and impact assessment, identifying business-critical systems, defining recovery time and point objectives, assigning roles and responsibilities, developing backup procedures, testing plans through drills, and implementing structured communication strategies.

Hawaii businesses are uniquely exposed to hazards such as hurricanes, flooding, and unpredictable surges in visitor activity, which can cause significant disruption. The blog encourages organizations to coordinate with risk and insurance consultants to close potential coverage gaps and develop response procedures aligned with their industry-specific risks.

In addition to general best practices, the article introduces critical planning concepts, including the 3-2-1 rule for data redundancy and the "4 C's" of disaster recovery—communication, coordination, continuity, and collaboration. These principles are presented as frameworks to help businesses respond more effectively during recovery phases.

The new blog post reflects Atlas Insurance's ongoing commitment to helping clients build risk-informed operational strategies in an evolving threat environment. By supporting thorough recovery planning, Atlas Insurance enables Hawaii businesses to resume activity more quickly and limit long-term loss following unplanned disruptions.
