"As hurricane season intensifies, law enforcement agencies must proactively prepare for the disruptions natural disasters inevitably cause. Effective planning with innovative new technology that is available today, ensures readiness tomorrow. Start with a thorough review of your current communication and safety systems. Identify and address vulnerabilities, especially in outdated, on-premise technologies that lack redundancy or proper maintenance. Modern, cloud-connected tools, such as cloud security cameras, are designed to function independently, even when local infrastructure fails, ensuring uninterrupted situational awareness during crises."
"For example, in Beaufort, South Carolina, cloud-hosted traffic cameras help the sheriff's office review and modify evacuation routes during a crisis in real time. They also allow for monitoring to prevent criminal activity in the area while the majority of residents have evacuated. Cloud-based solutions offer more consistent reliability that can be accessed through alternative means such as satellite links, mobile trailers equipped with networking capabilities, backup generators, or solar power."
Law enforcement agencies must proactively prepare for hurricane disruptions by auditing and upgrading communication and safety technology to ensure redundancy and resilience. Outdated, on‑premise systems create vulnerabilities; cloud-connected tools like cloud security cameras maintain functionality even when local infrastructure fails. Cloud-hosted traffic cameras can enable real-time evacuation route review and deter criminal activity during mass evacuations. Departments should establish multiple communication systems, including cloud access, satellite links, and mobile communication trailers with backup power. Readily deployable mobile surveillance trailers and portable command centers enable rapid situational awareness and operational continuity during storms and recovery operations.
