Buying Backup Generators for Schools and Universities

Schools and universities pour millions of dollars each year into research and laboratory facilities that develop solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems. But what happens when natural disasters unexpectedly strike and the research is compromised? Labs could lose years of research due to power failure, just like when Hurricane Sandy hit in 2011.

In this incident, flooding and power loss destroyed biomedical research, including mice, DNA, antibodies and enzymes used in cancer research and other research purposes. The lab lost scientific data that would take years to replace, even impacting the graduation timelines of doctoral candidates.

Preparing for Disaster: Buy Backup Generators

While we can’t always predict the timing, geography or impact of hurricanes or other natural disasters, we can work to prepare schools and universities—backup generators are a great place to start.

Here are some ways educational institutions can prepare in advance for emergency situations:

• Perform a risk-assessment on on your building, cataloging every possibility during a natural disaster or other emergency and evaluating the contingency plans in place to get a sense of what the damage will be like in each scenario.
• Buy backup generators and connect all essential, life-supporting machines to emergency power circuits that are powered by these backup generators.
• Ensure electronics are protected with surge-protection devices.
