Make sure your business continuity plan doesn't cause a disaster

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rMslade () shaw ca>]

About 150 people were evacuated from the Chittenden Bank Operation Center on 
Putney Road in Brattleboro on August 27, after a smoky fire set off alarms in the 
building. A rack of backup batteries overheated and melted, filling the steel 
maintenance room behind the offices with smoke, the Brattleboro fire chief said 
at the scene. The chief said the fire was relatively easy to contain, but cutting off 
power to the building was challenging because of the large amount of machinery 
and technology in the building. He also said the backup generators had to be 
disconnected to make sure they did not kick in when the power was cut.  The 
Putney Road security manager said the batteries that burned were fairly new and 
had been updated within the past 10 years and inspected.

We're born, we live a little while, we die ... By helping you,
perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle.  Heavens knows
anyone's life can stand a little of that.
