FEMA Emergency Deployment: Boise, Idaho Cabling and Network Support
To help families and businesses recover from
the effects of devastating wildfires that burned more than a million acres of
land beginning July 27, 2000, Daly Technical Services Organization
provided Federal disaster aid for the State of Idaho. President Clinton ordered assistance under a major disaster
declaration for the fire in Boise, Idaho and Daly immediately
answered his request.
On Friday, September 1, 2000, Daly
received a call from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issuing a
task order to deploy a complete cabling and network team to Boise, Idaho.
On Saturday, September 2, 2000, Daly Technical Services Organization’s engineering team arrived on
site at Boise, Idaho. As a preliminary step, the Daly staff met with the FEMA project manager at the
site to take possession of the building and begin its final walk through and
planning.
Thirteen hours later, the Daly staff began cabling the
building for data and voice. By Wednesday September 6, all cabling was tested and completed.
The cabling team departed, yet the network support team remained for
ongoing PC deployment, quality control and network support.
Eventually, the remainder of the Daly FEMA team departed
and the project was brought to full completion. Daly’s FEMA Disaster Response Team deployed a total of 3.6 miles of
cabling pulled in 72 hours for both data and voice including absolute quality
control.
Services Provided under Daly Technical Services Organization’s FEMA Contract No.
EMS-2000-DO-0042.
