titleWhere can I store supporting documents?

Supporting documents of a DR can live anywhere.  Wiki , Google Docs, external blog posts, articles etc.  While we support having documents anywhere, it is highly recommended that most immediate/relevant information for the DR is documented in the wiki. This helps us avoid losing the content in the future for a variety of reasons. For E.g, the site is no longer available, issues related to ownership etc..
