Park Place to Deploy Help to Areas Impacted by Hurricane Sally

September 14, 2020


Alert: Support During Hurricane Sally

Park Place Technologies is taking proactive steps to prepare clients for Tropical Storm Sally, which is forecast to hit the southeast coast of Louisiana as a Category 1 hurricane the morning of Sept. 15, just weeks after Hurricane Laura created significant damage.

“The bottom line continues to be that Sally is expected to be a dangerous slow-moving hurricane near the coast of southeastern Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama during the next 2-3 days,” the National Hurricane Center reported. ‘”We have every reason to believe that this storm represents a very significant threat to the people of Southeast Louisiana.”

Park Place has set up a Command Center in Marlboro, 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 Gulf Coast region field team is on “high alert” and will be ready to deploy in the areas most impacted.

Park Place has been reaching out to critical end-users like hospitals to ensure they are ready to engage us if they are hit hard.

Park Place has identified customers who could be impacted and have moved additional material into the potential landing zone. Field Engineers are planning for the worst and hoping for the best.  We are also putting our complete Gulf Coast staff on high alert making sure they are ready to deploy.

By preparing for potential weather-related interruptions of service, Park Place is proactively investing in the uptime and peace of mind of our clients.

For further information on service in any impacted areas, please call 800-343-4654.
