Hurricane Season Begins June 1: Resolve to be Resilient
With hurricane season starting June 1st, we are officially in the ‘hurricane prep’ season. Now is the time to take responsibility to enable your business to continue to operate through whatever storm it is forced to weather. We will work with you to develop a comprehensive plan to ensure that your organization can to continue to deliver your products or services at acceptable predefined levels following a disruptive incident, and ensure optimized, speedy recovery and restoration of your data and applications.
To prepare your business for hurricane season, Bluetowne will work with you to:
- Review and validate your disaster recovery plan
- Review and validate your business continuity plan
- Verify backups are running and test restores
- Verify your team is prepared for work stoppage and resumption tasks
- Validate your IT infrastructure is sound, up-to-date and stable
All too often, we find that companies overrate their level of readiness. When an emergency or disruption hits – chaos and confusion ensue, rather than quick response and recovery. Resolve to be resilient by carving out some time to focus on your preparedness efforts.
Our mission is to support you, so let us know how we can assist by giving us a call at 843.352.0130 or shoot us an e-mail.
Team Bluetowne Gives Back to Ronald McDonald House of Charleston
Team Bluetowne had a lot of fun serving dinner to the families at the Ronald McDonald House of Charleston last night! We feel honored to participate in such an amazing cause, and to help make the journey a little easier for families with children in the hospital.
The Ronald McDonald House opened its doors 33 years ago as a home away from home where families stay while their children undergo extensive medical treatment. Today, the House is able to serve 32 families every single night.
Here, parents and children lead a life as normal as possible during their traumatic times without the financial burden of costly hotel and travel expenses. The Ronald McDonald House offers these families’ comfortable beds, hot meals, a caring staff, and a four-legged friend, Gardy, all just steps from the hospital.
There are many ways to get involved as a volunteer, including preparing a meal or donating items off of the House’s wish list.
