Scenario• Thursday, February 2, 2011
• You arrive in the morning to find the following scenario:
• An electrical fire has occurred in your office area overnight.
• Sprinklers extinguished the flames, but there has been extensive fire, water and smoke damage to the entire office area. Your computers, paper files, and office furniture are a total loss.
• Museum objects have not been affected; this is only a business interruption.
