| | Sorry again for no updates since last Wednesday. We have been
very busy. On Thursday we learned that the two Red Cross
operations in Covington, LA would be merged into a single
location. We got the keys to the new site at 7 PM Thursday and
had to have it up and running for all of the departments to move in on
Saturday morning. WE DID IT! I was responsible for
deploying all new laptops as none of the existing ones would be
moved. This is to make a clean move to the new disaster operation
covering southern LA. Most of the original equipment had been
assembled from several national recovery efforts and was an accounting
nightmare. It was also much easier to support the network if all
the machines were part of the same domain. This site will
eventually be moved to New Orleans itself as the situation improves
there. I had my first solo VSAT install (Red Cross satellite
rig). It is installed on the roof of the new building. I
also had some quick training on the W2K server now installed
here.
I have a few more pictures below of the damage in the Covington and New Orleans area.
One house near the Red Cross chapter had literally been cut
in half by a tree. Clean up still continues 2 months after
the hurricane. There are also some signs of normality, take a look... click to enlarge.
