For the rest of us—a reminder to review our disaster preparedness plans. **Remove your computers**. If you only have time or space to take one, take the primary server (usually **Station1**). 1. Exit Terminal. 2. Shut down the computer. 3. Take the computer with you as you evacuate to a secure location. If possible, take all your computers with you. **Back up your data**.  1. Copy all files in the **C:/SpeedLine** folder and any other important files you have saved on the station (for example, the **My Documents** folder, and any important files or folders on the **desktop**). 2. Save the files to a safe location like one of the following: - Removable media (for example, a USB flash drive, external hard drive, CD, or DVD), or, - Cloud file storage like Google Drive or Dropbox. 3. Take removable media containing the files, and cloud account login information, with you as you evacuate to a secure location **Protect your computers**. If computers are at risk of water damage and cannot be moved, keep them dry: 1. Once data backups are done, shut down computers and monitors and unplug them. 2. Shut off battery backup (UPS) units and unplug. 3. Wrap the computers, monitors, and any other hardware in garbage bags, plastic sheeting, or vinyl tarps. 4. Raise computers, UPS, and other equipment high off the floor.
