Give us a call at 1.877.eGROUP.1 or e-mail sales@eGroup-us.com to learn more about eGroup Support Agreements, and how we can help you with preparation assistance prior to the storm. Our Support Agreement customers have priority on our time before, during, and after a storm.
The e-mail below was sent out to our support agreement customers earlier this morning:
“As a Valued Support Agreement Customer, we wanted to touch base with you to let you know that we’re keeping a close eye on Irene.
If things intensify and projections put the storm on a collision course with our area, and specifically if the National Weather Service (NWS) begins to issue Hurricane “watch” or “warning” alerts for our area, eGroup will begin to invoke the necessary disaster preparedness plans we’ve developed internally. We expect that you will be doing the same. Please note that the NWS defines a “watch” condition as “storm possible within 36 hours”, and a “warning” condition as “storm expected within 24 hours.”
This email is especially important if you include eGroup Support Services as part of your Disaster Preparedness or Recovery plan. Read more >>
