Loss of Electrical Power
A loss of electrical power can prove to be a serious situation for all institutions. Not only
does it pose a security threat and loss of communication, but also physical threat with
the loss of air or heat.
As soon as a power failure has occurred, a member of the ERMT will contact or
designate an employee to contact the power company to report the outage and
determine if there is an expected time for restoration of power.
Based upon the
information obtained, a decision will be made as to the next steps to be taken.
In cases of extended loss of power, the ERMT may declare an emergency and the
premises vacated. If the building is to be vacated, employees should follow the basic
emergency evacuation procedures described above.
A sign stating that the
Organization has been closed will be posted. The local police will be contacted to alert
them of the power failure and the evacuation of the building. The remaining remote
locations also will be notified regarding the status of the outage for customer inquiries.
Systems that are on UPS battery backup should be monitored. If the outage is over 30
minutes, plans should be made to shut down servers according to the procedures
described above.
