COPS Monitoring reported it was able to service customers in the areas affected by Hurricane Matthew in an average of 12.4 seconds, thanks to its load-sharing network of backup sites. 

After devastating the Caribbean, Hurricane Matthew headed toward the Florida coast as a Category 4 storm packing heavy rain and winds between 130 and 156 mph. As the entire southeastern seaboard was preparing for the storm or evacuating, the team at COPS Monitoring was busy enacting an emergency preparedness plan it had begun more than a decade ago.
