Answer Posted / chatter
The correct answer is B
A. Problem and severity assessment would provide information necessary in declaring a disaster, but the lack of a crisis declaration point would not delay the assessment.
B. Execution of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans would be impacted if the organization does not know when to declare a crisis.
C. After a potential crisis is recognized, the teams responsible for crisis management need to be notified. Delaying the declaration of a disaster would impact or negate the effect of having response teams, but this is only one part of the larger impact.
D. Potential crisis recognition is the first step in recognizing or responding to a disaster and would occur prior to the declaration of a disaster.
