Telephone System Contigency Flow or Procedure... I have to write it and sent to my boss[3eyes]
 
What are basing the plan off of? Catastrophic system failure? Building damage? Loss of power/T1s/etc? Or just everything in general?

It is unlikely that any two locations are going to have the exact same contingency plans. How much money do you have to spend, whats your expected recovery time, what % of staff will you get working and to what level. Under what situations would you move, do you have somewhere to go, too many questions unanswered to give you a good answer.
You need to talk to your boss and see what he wants to do then make your plans fit him/ his budget / his ability to make your plans happen.
 
It would also depend on a "realistic" availability of techs to respond as well. Or company has set a "system down, partial system down, Can't call out or in, ect." to a min response of 2 hours. Standard service , a single phone or various problems to same day response. Adds, moves and changes at same day or next day. And all should be addressed with at lease a call. Communications with the customer should always be forefront. You may want to contact your customers as to what they want from you and make a realistic response to them. They are the ones who provide your pay checks and operating cost coverage.
