Disaster planning is only asgood as the assumptions and information on whichit is based. Experience from hundreds of actual disasters shows that planning assumptions often are incorrect. Disaster planning based on incorrect assumptions can createanillusionof preparedness.Disasterplans,when developed, shouldbetestedandrevisedasnecessary.
