Business Continuity Professional Exam Prep #2

Answer: A and B - When conducting a Damage and Impact Assessment after a crisis has occurred, the team should primarily focus on physical damage to the property as well as the financial impact associated with those damages. While potential long term reputation damages are also important, the Damage and Impact Assessment immediately after a crisis is not the right tool for assessing those damages.

Key Takeaway: There should be a team designated to conduct a Damage and Impact Assessment immediately following a crisis (as soon as public authorities deem that it is safe to return to the facility). This team will document the facts and estimate costs for repairing the damages.
