Snowmageddon! When it’s time for disaster recovery

Snowmageddon! When it’s time for disaster recovery
Reading Time: 3 minutes

It could be time for disaster recovery. The beginning of March brought no signs of spring, as Storm Emma danced with the Beast From the East across the UK.

Up to 50cm of snow fell with bitterly cold winds sweeping across the country and temperatures falling to below zero. A red weather warning moved from Scotland’s central belt to south-west England and south Wales.

So just what impact do such conditions bring, not just to our livelihoods, but to businesses?

The possible impacts on your business

As well as its impact on economic growth, freezing temperatures can bring some unexpected physcial impacts.

  • Frozen pipes. When the temperature outside drops, the water in your pipes can freeze. As it freezes, it expands, which can cause the pipes to burst.
  • Air flow. Improper airflow can  be caused by an obstructed vent, dirty duct, or an issue with the furnace itself, which can even lead to fires.
  • Heat loss. Below freezing temperatures can kick your system into overdrive, making it difficult to maintain consistent temperatures, and put pressures on the heating and also water systems.
  • Power cuts. Lasting hours or even days, power outages render many devices unusable.

These are just a few of the worst case scenarios*, and when the worst happens, organisations must be able to recover in order to survive.
