Western Area Power Administration's Kevin Ripplinger, left, Jason Reeves, and Billy Weber, assist repairs, Sept. 26, to the U.S. Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority's energy infrastructure on St. Thomas. The power experts are part of DOE WAPA's advance crew joining the local power Authority in repairs to a 34.5-kilovolt transmission line from Randolph Harley power plant. Transmission lines are like the backbone of an electrical system transporting energy longer distances before the voltage is stepped down for distribution lines to deliver the power to homes and businesses. The advance team is assisting the Authority line crews in energy restoration as part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s mission assignment to repair, restore and rebuild the islands following Hurricanes Maria and Irma.

IT systems and data are the lifeblood of today’s businesses and yet challenges in managing these continue to rise. Against this background, EMC wanted to understand the real causes of business interruption currently facing European companies and to measure the economic impacts from IT downtime.

 

We sought to identify how well companies felt about being prepared for a disaster – whatever form that “disaster” might take.For EMC’s European Disaster Recovery Survey 2011: Data Today Gone Tomorrow, How Well Companies Are Poised For IT Recovery study, Vanson Bourne interviewed 1,750 IT decision-makers in private and public sector organisations across Europe.

 

Survey results and country comparisons are available now at emc.im/uZ1QpP.

Note: Characteristics represent variables examined in at least one of the studies included within the scope of our review. Characteristics were studied in at least one of the programs, or a program element, and are not necessarily applicable to the entire program. No characteristic was studied in each of the six federal programs we reviewed. Characteristics are not necessarily exhaustive of all characteristics that may affect participation in these programs. The studies were published between 2005 and 2020 and used different methodologies of varying strengths to produce the findings.
