Explanation of Solution
Action of Iris:
The Corporate Limited did not have any disaster management plan and thus it would have been very difficult for Iris to get the situation in control if the incident had turned into disaster. Some of the actions that she would have to do are as follows:
- Removal of the building in order to decrease any loss to human capital. It should be made sure that people move down using staircase and no elevators are used.

- Fire team should be called.
- Once the situation is under control, efforts should be made to safeguard machines as they had significant data...

Should we expect government at any level to be responsible for disaster recovery at either the personal or business level? Why or why not? What sacrifices would a business have to make if the disaster recovery process were turned over to a government agency?
