Park Place to Deploy Help to Areas Impacted by Tropical Storm Alfred (Australia)

March 5, 2025 — Park Place Technologies is taking proactive steps to prepare clients for the effects of Tropical Storm Alfred. Millions of residents along Australia’s eastern coast are preparing for the impact of what is being described as “the most southerly cyclone to threaten the region in more than five decades.”

Tropical Cyclone Alfred, with strength the equivalent of a category 1 Atlantic hurricane, is forecast to hit the coast just south of the Queensland capital of Brisbane, the early hours of Friday, March 7 potentially at high tide, complicating emergency rescue efforts. Strom surge, flooding and power outages are expected to be severe.

Park Place has set up a Command Center in Westborough, Mass., that is ready to deploy whatever resources clients need. Clients will have immediate access to our supply chain, tech support, field team and suppliers. Our entire coastal region field team is on “high alert” and will be ready to deploy in the areas most impacted.

Park Place is reaching out to critical end-users such as hospitals to ensure they are ready to engage us if they are hit hard.

By preparing for potential weather-related interruptions of service, Park Place is proactively investing in data center up time to ensure peace of mind of our clients.
