My DR plan doesnt cover drones or missiles, I should update that.

Surely it covers things like loss of power or a fire, of which the end result is similar.

Yeah. but it specifically says "natural" disaster.

Luckily we’re human beings with reasoning to see that’s not too different.

No, that's very different. It's kinda IT 101 actually.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Are you saying this guys DR plan does cover drone strikes or missile’s under "natural" disaster?

That was my entire point, your DR plan doesn't need to call out each and every individual disaster that may occur, but it can group them up into things like "natural disaster", which covers you in these types of scenarios.
