Tunnel Fire Recovery Plan
January 27, 2025
During the steam tunnel fire on December 21, a number of Engineering and Science lab spaces sustained damage due to steam, water, and power outages.
ESC urges you to backup data from any computers or other data storage devices that may have suffered damage as a result.
Just because devices power on and function now, there is no certainty that they will still be working a few months from now. So if you haven’t done so already, get busy backing up data from functional devices. If you had external storage devices that may have been damaged, you should replace those and copy existing data to them.
For any equipment that sustained liquid and/or steam damage or failure due to power loss, we recommend that you contact your department office and/or Dean’s Office for guidance on how to proceed with insurance claims and equipment replacement.
