When Hurricane Sandy barreled into the Northeast coast of
the United States in late October, it leveled thousands of homes, caused
tens of billions of dollars in damage, claimed at least 130 lives, and left
millions of people without electricity. It also took numerous businesses
offline for hours, or in some cases, days—disrupting operations for
services ranging from the New York Stock Exchange and Amtrak to educational
institutions.
“Events such as Super Storm Sandy always bring back into
sharp focus the need for attention to planning for the impact of
disasters,” said Brian Voss, chief information officer at the University of
Maryland. “The larger storms—like Sandy in 2012 and Katrina in 2005—serve
to remind us that disaster response and business continuity planning
require attention beyond simply the loss of one’s data center, but can
extend to the entire campus, the city where the institution is located, and
even entire regions.”
