Earthquake Mitigation Device |
The recent incidents of earthquakes across Asia, including the Philippines, has compelled the business community to take a good hard look at its business continuity infrastructure and programs, as well as any measures that can safeguard their people and equipment. The 9.0-magnitude earthquake that devastated major cities in Japan and cost thousands of lives only last March was a particularly sobering wake-up call. Out of the debris, though, one source of hope that emerged and which helped to put some companies back on track, at a pace faster than their colleagues and competitors, was the protection of their vital data and other crucial information through the ISO-Base Seismic Isolation Platform. Don Hubbard, the founder of Worksafe Technologies, the Valencia-based firm that created and manufactured the ISO-Base, received reports from clients in Japan that the latter had helped maintain and continue operational activity throughout the mega-quake and its aftershocks; operations ceased or temporarily stopped only when the power in the concerned facilities themselves were interrupted. The data housed in the storage areas protected by the ISO-Base were also preserved. More details about this can be found in the news report at http://www.the-signal.com/section/24/article/44617/.
