The timeline topic pulls together all of the recovery steps, describing in what order recovery steps need to happen, and what dependencies there may be (for example, there is no point to restoring a database before terminals are in place to use the database, and no point in getting terminals before you have electrical power).
Provide an overview describing how the timeline should be used, especially for more minor disasters where not all resources need to be recovered.
List all resources, in the order they should be recovered, according to priority and dependencies
Show any dependencies between resources
Include any cross-departmental communication needed (for example, after the new temporary office space is located, provide IS with the address and access).
