Storm Protection Tips
Before the Storm:
Test offsite backups and remote cloud access
Confirm technical support for end-users who need to be operational during the storm
Run internal tests of UPSs/generators and shut down non-mission-critical servers and equipment
Test secondary communication channels such as chat or SMS
Test all backups, including cloud backups, to ensure your solution is working, and your data is recoverable
Review your BC/DR plan with your IT provider
During the Storm:
Immediately contact your IT provider in the event of an unexpected outage
Check-in with employees and clients to ensure everything is running smoothly
Check your local weather channel or website for storm updates
After the Storm:
Do not turn on computer equipment if there are any indications of storm-related damage
This includes low power fluctuations, low air conditioning output, water on or under raised floors, broken windows or damaged equipment
Make sure all clients and employees are safe after the storm has passed
Contact your IT services provider if needed
