Our office is closed and assessing day by day. I've sent out an email to all of our staff reminding them about how to access our remote systems (most employees have phones with their work emails on them, but not all use remote access), how to access their phones to change greetings and such, and a general systems status update. I've kept them up to date every day since this began with multiple updates on our systems, offsite hosting status, and data links status.
I'll admit I felt proud knowing that our systems were available the entire time during this event, especially after reading about people on my FB having to run in and shut their technologies down in some buildings. As the head of IT, it's a good feeling to know you designed your systems to be available at times like these, even when the downtown core was potentially "offline".
