Emergencies have a funny way of happening at the least desirable moment.  Have you ever had a power outage, but the emergency power didn't turn on?  Perhaps you did not even have emergency power.

Perhaps you work for a phone company that has had 50,000 phone lines outaged in an FCC reportable office.   It's not usually the traditional emergencies like fires,  earthquakes, gushing water or loss of air conditioning that  causes the outage either.  It's just highly-redundant  systems that still seem to fail, due to multiple faults in the  hardware or software.

 

There is also some possibility of intentional damage to infrastructure...electricity, roads, water, or a structure itself.  You probably have security cameras if there is some substantial asset to be protected, but for some reason, those willing to inflict damage on your property do not seem to notice or care if they are recorded on tape.  What you really need to do is identify in advance how some device or utility could be damaged, and then do what is reasonable to make it as difficult as possible to carry out such damage.

Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.                

                    - Ralph Waldo Emerson

  

AG Advice and Support personnel have dealt with all of these types of incidents.  We know how to resolve them and, better yet, how to prevent them from happening in the first place.  This takes some analysis and planning, and sometimes capital expense.  It's called an Emergency Action Plan (EAP), but it can save you a lot of grief, and all too often, money.  How much time and expense is too much for a given level of risk?  We can help you determine just that.

This is sometimes an area where there is reluctance to spend adequate resources on future protection and preparedness -- after all, no one really wants to believe that something bad will happen to them in the future.  The challenge with this belief is you can go many years finding  yourself correct...until something bad does happen.  We have analyzed, inspected, installed and accepted  equipment used in all aspects of security and communication networks and can pre-emptively identify problem  areas before you encounter a problem.

 
 

 

 

 "Whenever there is danger, there lurks  opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there  lurks danger.  The two are inseparable.  They go  together."

If your company keeps emergency food and supply kits, remember to inspect them periodically.
