Explanation

The first step after a disaster is to assess the extent of the damage to systems, infrastructure, and data. This helps determine the next course of action - such as whether to failover to a backup site, begin data recovery, or escalate further. Migrate to the cold site comes after confirming the primary site is unusable. Notifying customers is important, but operational recovery comes first. Establishing a communication plan should already exist in the disaster recovery plan - it’s not the first post-disaster step. Damage assessment is essential to make informed decisions on recovery.
