Internet2 continues to closely monitor the progress of Hurricane Ian, following its landfall in Florida Wednesday as a Category 4 storm. According to the latest update from the National Hurricane Center, the storm is now approaching the Carolinas where hurricane warnings have been issued for the South Carolina and southeastern North Carolina coasts.
Our thoughts are with everyone who may be affected by this storm.
We are continuing to actively monitor and manage network services in anticipation of potential impact and reduced resiliency in the region. As a reminder, an internal NOC ticket has been opened (PRB0050724) to track all Ian-related activities and to provide a tie-back for member tickets opened as a result of the potential storm impacts.

Considering the strength of this hurricane and the amount of projected rainfall, we may see service impacts throughout the Gulf Coast. Should issues occur, traffic will be rerouted through alternate paths; this could place increased demands on infrastructure in Atlanta and Houston. Internet2 will work diligently with our partners to restore any impacted services as soon as it is safe to do so.
We encourage everyone in the region to follow appropriate local emergency management procedures, heed all warnings, and keep personal safety at the highest level of consideration. As the weather can be unpredictable, we will continue to monitor official forecast sources until the danger associated with the situation has passed.
Our thoughts are with everyone who may be affected by Hurricane Ian.
