• Reduce - the period of time before the disaster
• Response - the hours and days immediately following the disaster
• Recover - the period from the occurrence of the disaster until temporary operations are restored
• Re-sync - the re-synchronization of data for all the systems
• Resume - the resumption of business functions and operations as the systems are gradually made available
• Return - the time when operations return to normal
