Nigel, a tech support employee, shared his experience during Hurricane Ivan in 2004. Tasked with keeping the office's systems online amidst severe weather, he worked overnight to conserve generator fuel by shutting down and restarting systems. During his watch, alarms triggered and he encountered confused first responders, who found it odd for him to be alone in an empty office during a hurricane. The story underscores the unpredictability and humor in crisis management, particularly in IT environments.
I explained, the cop behind me laughed and said, 'Good thing you were fast - I heard your feet, but I couldn't get a bead on you.'
The company devised a plan to save generator fuel by shutting down its systems at night, when nobody needed them.
