    Torn between saying that Waffle House is inspiring, which is true, and reporting that the purported “military-level preparations” are table stakes for any Japanese business establishment capable of producing an open flame.https://twitter.com/AnniePNJ/status/1168661146922102784 …

    If you’re curious how @WaffleHouse is able to stay open during storms, check out my piece from yesterday for @USATODAY. We’re talking military-level preparations here people https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/2187708001 …

        My local cafe has pads to do the register in case of a power outage, because “Power is out but coffee is on” is *very much* an anticipated mode of operation.

        Or perhaps just that planning for the operation of your business in adverse conditions is something that any organization can do, not just the military?

        Helping run the incident management program for Akamai was fun. One of the constraints on it was that it needed to still work if the Internet was down.

        “Internet down” - I’m sure you can’t go into a lot of detail, but I’d assume this strikes out things like phones since that’s mostly voip these days. What are some comms channels that you did use then?

        They only sound good when you consider the rest of their competition. Bit of a booster, I’m sure most EM pros would be quietly laughing

        FEMA have an unofficial "Waffle House index". So no, the EM pros aren't laughing (and several of them are employed by Waffle House) https://www.fema.gov/blog/2011-07-07/news-day-what-do-waffle-houses-have-do-risk-management …

        I should hope our armed forces have C&C that's more survivable than the Waffle House.
