- Check backups and off-site copies (make emergency copies of critical systems).
- Plan to protect equipment and critical processes.
- Get with your staff and ensure you have a communication plan on how to stay in touch.
- Shut all systems down and make sure all electronic equipment is disconnected from power outlets to prevent surges.
- Make sure all electronic equipment is covered with heavy plastic and secured with duct tape to protect from water damage.
- Raise power cords, power strips, and towers off the floor.
- Document all serial numbers, model numbers, and purchase details in case of an insurance claim due to loss.
