| Facility managers were well prepared for US blackout: survey A survey by the International Facility Management Association(IFMA) has found that the majority of member’s businesses were well prepared for the blackout that affected North America on August 14th. In the survey, conducted soon after the outage, 93 percent of affected IFMA members reported that they had pre-prepared business continuity plans which were put into effect. Of these, 18 percent said that their plans were initially developed in anticipation of Y2K-related power interruptions; 35 percent said their plans were developed after 9/11, and the remaining 47 percent said their plans were drafted before either of those events.
