SOOOO--Is it really too late to consider a disaster recovery site that would be safer than Ardmore in the event of flood, bio-terrorism, or other crazy attack, that would be marketable to other companies??  I think that this a question that one should ask one's self if one was just promoted to a lofty position of authority.

I participate in the Southern Gas Association and am asked questions as related to IT topics.  If the early discussions you and I had regarding the provision of disaster recovery by ETS would have taken a different turn I could have provided an interesting answer to this one...

We are doing our annual review of disaster/recovery procedures and
expecting to make revisions in light of the Sept. 11 attack.  Our current
plans are based on the potential of a fire damaging the building or a
hurricane in the region.  We are interested in knowing what other options
companies are planning for:  the building being gone?  toxic chemicals in
the area causing a whole area to be evacuated?  other ideas?

We are also interested in any references on companies that have been a
resource for helping to decide what to plan for and how to manage the
risks.

Thanks for your help,
