Long Island law firms live with a risk most mainland offices don’t plan around: nor’easters, hurricane season flooding, and the power outages that come with both. When a storm knocks out electricity across Nassau or Suffolk County for days, “we’ll deal with it when the lights come back on” isn’t a disaster recovery plan — […]
