Power Outage DR Planning

In the event of a prolonged power outage, perform the following tasks.

Task

  1. Upon detection of a power outage that has affected any IT systems:
    • Ensure that the UPS and/or backup power generator supply has been activated; AND
    • Ensure that Facilities are continuously topping up backup power generators. 
  2. Attend the Crisis Management meeting and:
    • Liaise with Facilities to get an estimate of the duration of the power outage; AND
