Hurricane Irma: U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico

Sun Sep 10 19:04:00 UTC 2017

I have talked(briefly sms/fb) to several friends of mine who operate
critical datacenter infrastructure. What is not shot down mostlly on diesel
generators but actual impact if power isnt restored in next 5-7 days is yet
to come.

USVI and Puerto Rico will get the restoration it needs in critical
infrastrucure, no doubt I am more concerned about othet caribbean who were
impacted.

Having lived in Caribbean for years and been on many islands, i can only
imagine recovery Of services on smaller islands taking long time.

There is an effort by Martin hannigan announced on twitter and a
coordination call. Martin is active member of NANOG, Martin how can we
support/join this great initivative?
