*ED NOTE: As you read this imaging that your campus were to lose Internet for six months - are you prepared?*
Lynbrook, N.Y.'s Internet Outage Continuity Plan takes an in-depth look at how the local government can maintain critical services — even in the face of a six-month-long Internet outage. “There will be a time when an outage occurs due to a major solar flare, terrorism or human error, lasting weeks or months on a regional or national level,” Lynbrook Village Administrator John Giordano told Government Technology. The village officially adopted its Internet Outage Continuity Plan on Sept. 12, 2022 and has distributed copies to all departments. The document is intended to supplement other disaster recovery and business continuity plans. It maps out every function conducted by local government, identifies those involving Internet and lists alternative, offline methods of getting the job done.
