Hurricane Preparedness for Your
Communications Network
Lantana Communications stands ready to
support your network security, business
continuity and disaster recovery needs
during the regular course of business and
especially during events that can seriously
disrupt your communications when they are
needed most, such as hurricane season.
Our Customer Focused field sales and service
staffs can coordinate the delivery and
implementation of emergency repair
materials, replacement equipment and
emergency services personnel, to help
restore your communications.
While Lantana Communications is ready to
assist, there are a number of proactive
steps you can take with your communications
solutions to prevent or minimize disruption
to critical communications. |
- Save translations before the storm
hits. This will ensure that recent
changes are not lost and speed
restoration in the advent of damage to
your system.
- Secure back-up tapes so that
translations won't be lost or damaged,
thereby delaying restoration of your
service.
- Print and store a current list
configuration of your switches. If a new
system is necessary, this simple
precaution will save as much as four to
eight hours of delay in starting the
process.
- Consider powering your system down
before the storm hits. Electrical power
surges before and after the storm pose
the greatest threat to your system. Log
onto support.avaya.com if you need
assistance with the proper procedure for
a graceful shutdown.
- Consider moving your switch if you
are located in an area which is
flood-prone or is subject to a storm
surge. The smaller footprint of today's
systems makes this a possible option for
some customers.
- Review your safety procedures with
all employees prior to the storm's
impact and make certain you have an
updated contact list to keep in touch.
Hurricane damage always creates the
possibility of electrical hazards. All
electrically powered equipment can
present a hazard until restoration
efforts are completed.
