Haworth Press Offices Flooded

Haworth Press offices are located in Binghamton, New York near the Susquehanna river where recent rains have caused flooding throughout the Northeastern United States.

An email sent to SERIALST from Bill Cohen, Publisher & President of Haworth Press describes the situation.

"All electricity in Binghamton is shut down because of the floods. Our computer had battery-backup, but the telephone lines collapsed and the computer powered down. I doubt
if the T-1 lines would have worked anyway. We are now pumping out the water, and have arranged for office space on higher ground. Our server should be back in operation in several days. We are searching for better catastrophe planning. In addition to an automatic a gas generator & gasline supplies, we will see if a "dish" operation could continue internet service
in a natural disaster in the future."
