It's dark in here

Tech Tip of the Day: Just as your IT department doesn't support everything that plugs into the wall, we do not support that magic thing that comes out of the outlet. If none of the computers, monitors, printers....or lights... will turn on, there's a good chance that your power is out. There's nothing that your IT guy can do about that. Computers need electricity to run, that's just the way it all works.

If you have a laptop and can run on battery, great! But don't expect your internet or other network resources to necessarily work. The networking equipment also requires electricity in order to work correctly. Some of it may be on a battery backup, or generator, but not all of it is. Your resources may be limited until full power is restored.
