New Orleans mandatory evacuation
 

Since New Orleans is under a mandatory evacuation, will the Directnic guys be eventually forced to leave?

What about all the other holdouts? Are the authorities enforcing the evacuation?

mandatory evac means EVERYONE must go... including directnic. Only essential emergency personnel will be allowed to remain

That's my understanding of it as well XxX... Buff is claiming they're "exempt".

i doubt i'd be able to confirm the truth to any exemptions, but chances are, he'll be moved out as well. They may, since he was so helpful with certain agencies allow him to stay until they can get the registrar and servers housed elsewhere, but chances are that's as long as they'd be allowed to be exempt for. I'll try to dig up some info

People are ignorant. DirectNIC runs important infrastructure that is helping City, State and Federal Authorities.

like the government doesnt have people who could and would take over that job. My ignorant ass forgot that the directnic guys are the only IT people in New Orleans. Pardon my ignorance. Directnic people if anything are a liability to the government. If the gov wanted to, all they'd need to do is confiscate Directnic's equipment to use as their own. Definitely wouldn't be the first time it's been done...
