This is the second in a series of articles about a major disaster we went through and what lessons we learned from it. See the previous article for the build up or continue on to read about the disaster itself.

I am blogging on the Joomla! Community Site about the preparations I'm making prior to starting the coding of an accessible template for the backend. It turns out that there is some MVC coding work still to be done so I'll need to add some of that to my project schedule.

Every company should prepare for disaster, yet few small and medium sized businesses do. According to Gartner, Inc., two out of five businesses that experience a disaster are out of business within five years. Often the attitude is "It can't happen to me."

This is the start of a series of articles on my experience when it did happen to me.

For the past 5 years Google has sponsored a summer of code where students work on various open source projects. This summer I'll be creating accessible administrator templates for Joomla's backend.
