Answer: A
Developing a database repository of past incidents and
actions to facilitate future corrective actions would be of
least value in restoring service from an incident currently
underway. The creation of a detailed operations plan, a
multidisciplinary team and the declaration of incidents are
all necessary parts of having an incident response
capability, which must be carried out immediately before or
during the incident to handle it properly.
