I have talked(briefly sms/fb) to several friends of mine who operate critical datacenter infrastructure. What is not shot down mostlly on diesel generators but actual impact if power isnt restored in next 5-7 days is yet to come. USVI and Puerto Rico will get the restoration it needs in critical infrastrucure, no doubt I am more concerned about othet caribbean who were impacted. Having lived in Caribbean for years and been on many islands, i can only imagine recovery Of services on smaller islands taking long time. There is an effort by Martin hannigan announced on twitter and a coordination call. Martin is active member of NANOG, Martin how can we support/join this great initivative?
