Lessons Learned from Natural Disasters and Preparedness of Data Centers
“Keys to reducing the deadly effect of natural disasters are: anticipation, education and information. Unfortunately not enough priority have been given to these”. This chapter widens the awareness, prevention, and preparedness of data center stakeholders toward natural disaster. In addition to natural disasters, terrorist attack to the physical infrastructure could be devastating. Thus, it is imperative to have a plan for business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR). The more we learn from past experience and augment BC and DR, the more we will be prepared for the inevitable. There are many natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornados, wildfire, heat waves, etc. Although many natural disasters could impact operations of data centers, the chapter concentrates in lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Eastern U.S. Superstorm Sandy.
