Which original story? Losing power in a data center? That's a DR, technology related issue.

Companies trying to be sure their data centers are running after hurricane Sandy, that's DR. There's a BC component to that, but the piece we are talking about here, with people working in technology, is the technology end of a disaster, which is usually known as DR.

If you want to be pedantic about it and dig into what is BC and what is DR, that's fine, but I think that's a bit of a waste of time.
