A Disaster Recovery Plan () explains how to restore technology after disruption: who acts, what is restored first, where backups are, and how success is checked. Business Continuity Planning () keeps essential work operating during disruption, possibly through temporary manual processes. A Business Impact Analysis () identifies what disruption would cost and which functions matter most. Information Technology Contingency Planning () prepares alternative arrangements for IT disruptions.

The letters DRIP were not found as a defined term; is the slide-supported likely match, not certainty about your original note.
