  • How to Plan for Evacuation when you have a Production or Post-Production Company
    Feb 1 2025
    Cirina Catania, host of OWC RADiO, and Larry O'Connor, CEO and Founder of Other World Computing, discuss the fires in Southern California and what we should do to protect our media if we have to evacuate. We send our warmest thoughts and prayers to those who have lost their homes and the families of those who lost their lives. If you have had to evacuate, our sympathies are with you. During this crisis and those recently undergone by people in North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, and other areas impacted by horrific natural disasters, we couldn't help but think about the advice we might give to help all of us prepare. Heaven forbid something else happens, but let's be ready if it does. This episode of OWC RADiO is advice on what to do if you have valuable media. What hardware, software, media management tools, and peripherals should you be prepared to take with you? If you enjoy our podcast, please subscribe and tell all your friends about us!
