COMPUTER SECURITY WORKSHOP--EVACUATION AND RECALL

Evacuation, although it is considered an important element of computer security, is usually neglected and shunted to the side by most sophisticated security planners. An evacuation plan is proposed: 1) An orderly and efficient transition from normal to emergency operations; 2) Delegation of emergency authority; 3) Assignment of emergency responsibility; 4) Coordination between responsible individuals to assure an efficient sequency of execution; 5) Safety precautions to be taken during the evacuation; 6) How and where to obtain assistance; and 7) Location of special equipment such as portable communication systems, fire extinquishers, fire hoses, flashlights. Recall procedures are also outlined.
