I'm re-posting this recent message from the CIO list since it may be of interest to members of this group.
Thank you,

Happy New Year!

Just 2 months ago the hurricane Sandy proved challenging in many ways. The storm had a significant impact upon campuses 
along the east coast.  Additionally the ability to stabilize campus IT services was hampered by the fact that Sandy 
left many IT staff, college staff & students and the surrounding communities scrambling for resources.

A session at the upcoming Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference has been scheduled to address emergency preparedness and 
response by sharing the stories from Sandy.
The intent of the session (http://bit.ly/RtoAHt ) is to collect the experiences from universities & colleges for whom 
Sandy had an impact and share lessons learned.
For the benefit of those attending it would be appreciated if you would share your campuses experiences by submitting a 
brief description to this list. If you plan to attend MARC I encourage you to join this session or the follow-up 
briefing "Lessons Learned From Superstorm Sandy" http://bit.ly/YTp20u

Other experiences that address emergency preparedness, emergency response, emergency policy or governance practices and 
business continuity plans that anyone cares to share would be welcome.

Thanks
