There will be a building-wide power shutdown Wednesday 2/6/19. ONCOR needs to replace the transformer behind our building that is leaking oil.
Their plan:
- Shutdown 4am 2/6/19
- Down for about 6 hours
We need to plan for everything to be down for the entire business day Wednesday 2/6/19. The current weather forecast is for morning thunderstorms and I don’t know if that will affect their plans/schedule. I’m not sure I believe that they will start precisely at 4am, nor can we be assured that they will be done by noon. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
You should be able to remotely determine whether the power is on by looking at the camera page. If the camera is down - so is the power!
Here are the action items:
- @Kriskat30 … please decide what time to lock down and vacate the building.
- All members, plus @Team_Automotive, @Team_Motorsports - all vehicles need to be cleared from around the transformer. Please do not move your junkers to the neighbors’ parking areas. @Team_Logistics - please set a deadline for vehicle removal that allows you enough time to tow vehicles if needed.
- @Team_Infrastructure or @Team_Logistics: If the Board decides they want to lock down the building …
- Lock/secure the building when the camera servers go offline. No one should be in the building with a complete power outage or without camera coverage.
- Unlock the building when the power is restored.
- @Team_Logistics - remove the racking that is stacked by the transformer (if it hasn’t already been moved)
- @Team_Infrastructure - Shut down and restore the servers
- @Team_PR
- Post the shutdown schedule on our outward facing website
- Post some printed notices around the space
-
@Committee_Chairs
- Notify your committees
- Post the shutdown schedule on your various social media outlets
- Prepare anything that needs special shutdown or protection.
- @Team_Science - will your spiders be OK if we are without power/heat?
- @brendamvilla, @meanbaby, @nausser915 - you may want to schedule any length firings, etc. accordingly
- @Team_Calendar - notify class instructors who are or may be impacted
