Hello,

I agree with Peter's statement:  << Typically plans are retained for x time after superseding. >>

Ours are kept 2 years after they are superseded. We are a public water utility; if your client is an electric utility, they probably have a different set of requirements than we do. I would recommend they join the utility records management group and pose the question there: [log in to unmask]

Subject: Records Retention period for Business Resumption Planning, Emergency/Disaster Recovery Planning.

Hello everyone,



My name is Patti Bowles and my husband and I own and operate a records
storage, paper shredding and recycling business in Winnipeg, Manitoba
Canada.  I joined the listserev to educate myself about RM issues and how
people are solving them.  Thank you all for the great education and I am
learning lots.  Today I have a question that I am hoping someone can help me
with.  We have a record storage client who has asked us for some guidance on
how long they should keep their Business Resumption Planning,
Emergency/Disaster Recovery Planning records.  This client is a private
utility company.  They used to be publicly owned and at that time they had a
full retention schedule done by an external consultant but nothing in their
schedule addresses how long to keep this type of record.



I would be interested to know what other people are doing and any advice
that is out there.



Thank you in advance.



Patti
