Economic experts estimate that Hurricane Irene alone caused about $7 billion in damage as it slammed into the Eastern seaboard. The storm caused widespread power outages and flooding. Power was knocked out in more than 4.5 million homes and businesses, and flooding reached record levels. From the Carolinas to Maine, IT companies have been responding to disaster declarations - from lost power to internet and phone connectivity issues - and deploying critical assets to help these businesses recover from the aftermath of Irene. More of the same destruction came from a second blow from Tropical Storm Lee.

As these "historic" weather events become more common, it's important now to ensure a weather-tight Business Continuity Plan.

An outage analysis examining the previous 12 months of an organization's IT infrastructure performance could be a smart first step in developing a Business Continuity / DR plan that can help assure compliance, flexibility, and scalability, while managing and mitigating risks that are part of business as usual, as well as during catastrophic disruptions.

Essextec's Business Continuity experts are ready to work with your firm to develop a solid Business Continuity/DR plan.
