A functional drill is a type of disaster recovery and business continuity training that involves a specific test by response teams of individual emergency response functions, such as fire suppression, medical assistance, or data backup. A functional drill is designed to evaluate the performance, coordination, and effectiveness of the response teams and the emergency procedures. A functional drill is not the same as a full-scale simulation, a functional evacuation, or an activation of the backup site. A full-scale simulation is a type of disaster recovery and business continuity training that involves a realistic and comprehensive scenario of an emergency and the subsequent response functions, involving all the stakeholders, resources, and equipment. A functional evacuation is a type of disaster recovery and business continuity training that involves the orderly and safe movement of personnel from a threatened or affected area to a safe location. An activation of the backup site is a type of disaster recovery and business continuity action that involves the switching of operations from the primary site to the secondary site in the event of a disaster or disruption.
