Contracts and Agreements with Disaster Support Agencies

Copies of contracts and agreements with all disaster support agencies and businesses including salvage and reconstruction consultants, available alternative sites, and vendors of other essential equipment and supplies must be included in the written plan; or otherwise arranged by UM Risk Management.

Agreements are a less formal means of providing emergency services particularly where goodwill is involved in promising help to charitable organizations, educational institutions, and government agencies. The Eastman Kodak Company is one large organization that has provided reprocessing services for water-damaged film to its customers for years through informal agreements.

A list of additional recovery resources should include:

  • Local fire department
  • Police department
  • Civil defense
  • Ambulance services
  • Paper supply vendors
  • Copy machine(s)
  • Office equipment
  • Computer equipment and supplies
  • Resources for freezer space/freezer trucks
  • Local volunteers or temporary help

The disaster recovery plan must specify by name, address, position, and phone number the various resources the disaster team will use.
