   Better Disaster Recovery


Current Disaster Sites
There are currently no active public FamilyMessages.Org Disaster Sites  
Stand-by Disaster Sites
Standby.FamilyMessages.Org -- Site status: Contingency
This site has been prepared for use but has not been activated at this time. FamilyMessages will monitor situations and activate this (or a similar site) as needed.

Read-only Disaster Sites
Once the immediate impact of a disaster has subsided, the long-term process of reconnecting people displaced by the event can take a very long time. Even after most of the names of those missing and of the survivors have been entered, the discovery of one to another can take weeks and months. As a result, FamilyMessages will transition formerly "active" DR sites into a "read-only" mode which allows data to be searched but not updated. These "Read-only" DR sites can stay online for upwards of a year, depending on the severity of the event.
Restricted Access Disaster Sites
In rare cases, survivor databases are retained after the one-year deadline as long as there are still recovery efforts making use of the site. These sites are placed in a "restricted access" mode, requiring an authorized login/password combination for access. For more information, please contact FamilyMessages via the DCRE Labs support group.
