can ensure reliable
power supply
during
emergencies if they
are properly sited
and maintained

Disaster Recovery Planning
Restore critical services first
Inspect electrical systems before re-energizing
Conduct a pre-crisis risk mitigation audit
Train facility managers
Know where you can get replacement
equipment and certified technicians
Plan for the failure of communication systems
Install surge protection, arc-fault protection, and
ground-fault protection to reduce risk of
equipment damage, fire, and electrocution
Upgrade equipment when replacing it10
