Your Secret Guide to Staying Ahead of the Storm
So we’ve actually been through some pretty bad hurricanes in South Florida, and at one time I did nothing but the banking industry and when that hurricane blew through. We had banks with no power, no internet, nothing. But the problem being is if you’re in a financial institution, you’re part of the core infrastructure.
There’s no such thing as being closed or down because if you’re down, police departments can’t get paid. Construction people that, that need to get out and clear, the roads can’t get paid. So we had to find a way to get people up and running. So we’ve experienced the worst of the worst. So no power, generators were being shipped down, networks we had to move, we literally moved businesses in with other businesses that had internet and they were able to see their members or do transactions at the time, but we had also been very aggressive without backup, so they didn’t lose any of their data, but we were able to move them into places to where they could function.
