Why Business Impact Analyses, Continuity Plans, and Contingency Plans Are Essential for Disaster Readiness

Backup power is not just about having a generator; it’s about having a well-thought-out contingency plan. The best plans are flexible, reliable solutions that keep you prepared for any emergency without the need for on-site storage or maintenance. Here are the key benefits of opting for standby equipment: Cost Efficiency Avoid the high upfront costs of purchasing and maintaining on-site power equipment. With standby solutions, you only pay for what you need, when you need it. Re duced Maintenance Responsibility On-site power generation requires regular servicing and fuel management to remain operational. With our standby solutions, AMP takes care of equipment maintenance, ensuring you always have reliable power when it matters most. Flexibility and Scalability Power needs vary depending on the situation. Standby solutions allow you to scale up or down without being locked into a single piece of equipment. AMP’s wide range of generators and power distribution options ensures you’re always covered. Minimized Environmental Impact On-site equipment often sits idle for extended periods, consuming resources and taking up space. Standby equipment reduces unnecessary environmental impact by delivering power only when required. Eliminates On-Site Hazards Permanent equipment can pose safety risks, including fuel storage hazards and emissions. By opting for standby equipment, you reduce these risks while staying compliant with safety regulations. Why Standby Equipment Matters When backup power becomes a legal requirement, such as in nursing homes or facilities regulated under state or federal laws, having a robust plan is critical. For instance: Healthcare Facilities : Following the tragic loss of life during Hurricane Irma in 2017, laws now mandate that nursing homes and large assisted living facilities in Florida must maintain backup power for air conditioning systems. Standby solutions ensure these facilities meet regulatory standards without the burden of owning and maintaining on-site generators. Fuel Stations: Florida and Louisiana require gas stations on evacuation routes to maintain operational capability during outages. Standby generators offer these businesses the flexibility to meet these legal requirements while avoiding the costs of permanent installations. High-Rise Buildings: Buildings exceeding a certain height are often required to have emergency power systems to operate elevators, fire alarms, and emergency lighting during outages. The International Building Code (IBC) specifies these requirements. Public Assembly Venues: Facilities such as theaters, sports arenas, and convention centers, which accommodate large gatherings, are typically mandated to have standby power for emergency lighting and fire protection systems to ensure safe evacuation if needed. Data Centers: While not universally mandated, many jurisdictions require data centers to have backup power to prevent data loss and maintain critical operations, given the essential services they provide. Water and Sewage Treatment Plants: To prevent environmental hazards and maintain public health standards, these facilities are often required to have standby generators to ensure continuous operation during power interruptions. Emergency Services Facilities: Police stations, fire departments, and emergency operation centers must have reliable backup power to remain fully functional during crises. It's important to note that specific requirements can vary based on local building codes, state regulations, and the nature of the facility. Consulting with local authorities and reviewing applicable codes is essential to ensure compliance.
