A manufacturing company's disaster recovery plan has a stated RTO of 4 hours for its ERP system. A fire occurs at the primary site, and the disaster is declared. The recovery team is at the alternate site, but the ERP system is not yet operational. The incident commander is considering whether to activate the business continuity plan (BCP) or wait for the ERP to be restored. The BCP includes manual workarounds for order processing. What should the incident commander do?

Do not activate the BCP because the manual workarounds are not efficient.

Activate the BCP only if the ERP system cannot be restored within the RTO.

Activate the BCP immediately to implement manual workarounds, while the recovery team continues to restore the ERP system.

Wait until the ERP system is restored before activating the BCP, to avoid confusion.

What is the first action in activating the business continuity plan (BCP) after a disaster is declared?

Conduct a full after-action review

Update the business impact analysis

Declare the disaster to the public

Notify the activation team and assemble the response team
