For the a complete storage breakdown case you should have reliable backup and a fast recovery process. You need to determine upfront how much content changes you're allowed to use in case of such a total breakdown. Because you cannot backup each and every action, but usually you backup only once (or maybe twice) a day. And btw if a single systems breaks there are lighter processes, which allow you to restore them. On authoring you should setup a cluster to allow restore of a single node without loosing content. On publish you normally just would clone a running instance to replace the broken one (backup a running one and restore it on the broken one).

Site slow: Well, if a site performance degrades, there is a reason for it. Either your developers do not care about performance, then you should have some performance analysis and performance tests. You should have good performance tests. And so on. And performance isn't caused by a single action or activity performed well, but a good performance relies on a number of factors. Which aren't relevant for any BCP in the first place, but you development process should take care of it.

what are the threats? Hurriancs? Intruders on your network? Storage breakdown? Unavailability of your internet connection? A problem with AEM which makes your site slow?

Can you please provide more details?

Mostly it will be the storage breakdown/crash or site slow.And how to recover the application in this kind of situations and what are the steps need to be followed as part of BCP?
