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.
1. 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.
2. Secure back-up tapes so that translations
won't be lost or damaged, thereby delaying restoration of your
service.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
