Hello!
Does anyone know what reg or law talks about Disaster Recovery training and what the requirements of this training are? How often, who must complete, content, etc?
Thanks!

You might check out the FFIEC IT Examination Handbook, Business Continuity Planning Booklet.

Within the booklet, they have a section called Employee Training that states:
"Financial institutions should provide business continuity training for personnel to ensure that all parties are aware of their primary and back-up responsibilities should a disaster occur. Key employees should be involved in the business continuity development process as well as periodic tests and training exercises. The training program should incorporate enterprise-wide training as well as specific training for individual business units. Employees should be aware of which conditions call for implementing all or parts of the BCP, who is responsible for implementing the BCP for business units and the institution, and what to do if these key employees are not available at the time of a disaster. Cross training should be used to anticipate restoring operations in the absence of key employees. Employee training should be regularly scheduled and updated to address changes to the BCP." - you can find it here.

In addition, Appendix G states "A comprehensive training program should be developed for all employees, conducted at least annually, and kept up-to-date to ensure that everyone understands their current role in the overall recovery process." regarding training - you can find it here.

Hope this helps some.

Thanks,
Russ

Russ is correct, that's the FFIEC reg for it. However, if you need more best practice information I'd encourage you to develop your own iterative and incremental model (road map, if you will) that moves from awareness to basic participation, then into specific training per response qualifications. Everyone must receive annual basic training but those who are essential employees (and backups) or who have specific response requirements require training and exercise experience specific to the actions that are expected of them.
