Ways to Protect Your Tech from Natural Disasters

Disasters can strike at anytime and the best we can do is be prepared.

1. Safeguard your hardware's physical assetsÑFlood-proof your workspace and secure vital technology in water and fireproof safes. Keep tech away from windows and unplug devices to avoid damage from a power surge or flood.
2. Back up your dataÑPerform backups routinely and store data remotely. Keep a complete inventory of where your data is stored especially if you're using multiple platforms or systems.
3. Have a disaster plan in placeÑYour emergency plan should cover everything you need, including where you can secure a backup laptop or portable power source. 
BONUSÑAfter any natural disaster, perform a risk assessment to identify what worked, what didn't, and what you should change in the event of another disaster.
