Session Type: Concurrent Session
On April 27, 2011, a mile-wide EF4 tornado ripped through Tuscaloosa, passing less than a mile from the University of Alabama Financial Affairs data center.

This presentation will focus on IT's involvement in the aftermath of the tornado: what we did and didn't do, what worked, and how we'll be better prepared in the future to serve our university and our community.
