The "Doomsday Book" is a collection of emergency documentation and memo-randa compiled by the Legal Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It has two purposes in mind. First, it is a ready reference source, containing template documents that must be prepared quickly, and background material that is likely to be particularly relevant to an emergency situation. Second, because all of its documents are on CD-ROMs, it is an operational mitigant against the risk of
lost power or connectivity. The Doomsday Book, however, assumes working computers and printers.

The Doomsday Book is intended to help lawyers of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York aid their clients in crisis management. It was originally distributed to a limited set of lawyers and select senior staff members. This has changed with time, as more lawyers are drawn into crisis management. Now, all FRBNY lawyers receive a copy of the Doomsday Book. Since the Doomsday Book seemed more confusing than helpful to non-lawyers, it is no longer distributed outside of the Legal Function. However, some individuals may have older versions on their shelves, and there is nothing wrong with sharing this version with clients.
