Law enforcement is part of the category of "First Responders", heroic in being able to respond to crisis and disasters.   Disasters or other unexpected events that affect your records come in many different varieties, both natural (earthquakes, fires, floods, volcanos) and manmade (virus, malware, equipment failure, security breaches). Can you afford to lose critical records, or lose the ability to access necessary information?  This episode covers disaster planning and preparedness for your public records.
