Do you have a hurricane emergency plan in place?

Hurricane season begins June 1 and national forecasters are predicting that fifteen tropical storms and five to eight hurricanes will threaten the U.S. this year, with four of them expected to pose a major threat.

Customers should have a plan that accommodates where their key personnel will work after the storm other than their original work space.  Customer equipment that is not being serviced out of one of our datacenter facilities should be tested for remote worker access.  Matrix cannot take responsibility for the care and custody of customer infrastructure that operates outside our facilities.

We strongly urge our customers to have an emergency response plan in place for your office.  In addition to securing your critical infrastructure remember that the most important piece in your emergency response plan should be the safety of your employees.
