Exam CISA Topic 7 Question 332 Discussion

If nobody declares the disaster, the response and recovery plan would not be invoked, making all other concerns mute. Although failure to consider duration could be a problem, it is not as significant as scope, and neither is as critical as the need to have someone invoke the plan. The difference between incidents and low-level disasters is always unclear and frequently revolves around the amount of time required to correct the damage. The lack of detailed steps should be documented, but their absence does not mean a lack of recovery, if in fact someone has invoked the plan.
