In
other news about the Department of Homeland Security, it seems that they've built a very large Disaster Recovery Center (a Data Center: that's a big computer centers, for you non IT folks). It's for use in the event of a disaster. All in all, a good part of a Disaster Recovery Plan. Well done, all.
Except ...
It seems that someone thought that it would be the
shizzle Flippity Floppity Floop to build it on the Gulf Coast. Nothing wrong with that, of course. Except that
they didn't plan for hurricanes.
The Homeland Security Department set up a huge data center on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 2006 without considering protections against hurricanes, power outages and perimeter security threats, according to a new report from DHS Inspector General Richard Skinner.
I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
Sigh.
