Validating a Recovery Site

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

It is not unusual to wonder whether your planned recovery site(s) is/are in fact going to meet your needs at time of recovery.  While there is no way to ensure a given site will be accessible at time of need, Agility has a number of resources available to help give you peace of mind that the site(s) you have selected will be suitable for recovering your business.

The first step is to consult your Subscriber Manual or Agility contact regarding site size, location, and accessibility.  Once these items have been checked off, you can use Google Earth to allow Agility to remotely view your proposed site.  The basic version of this tool can be downloaded for free at http://earth.google.com/.  Once you have viewed the proposed site to confirm that the picture is accurate for the current site, simply e-mail a request to clientservices@agilityrecovery.com with the address(es) in question.  We can then confirm most site requirements based on this satellite photo.

If you are still unsure of site suitability or require a written validation of your site(s) for auditors or stakeholders we can arrange a physical site survey for you.  This service would incur a cost to have an Agility employee visit the site(s) in question to confirm accessibility for mobile office space, generator, and delivery trucks, as well as visibility for satellite communications.  To request a site survey or request additional information please send your request to clientservices@agilityrecovery.com.

Downtown office; no parking lot for mobile unit recovery

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Our office is in an urban area and we will not be able to bring in a mobile unit to recover. I know I can work with some nearby businesses and (maybe) use some of their office space in conjunction with Agility’s technology. Does anyone else have a similar situation? What have you done?
