BioRegion News, Oct. 13, 2008 UTMB's William New discusses the rebuilding of UTMB's research capabilities. "Our disaster planning really focuses on protecting three repositories - our data repositories, our freezer repositories with our data specimens, and our animals. ... It wasn't perfect, but all in all we lost very few freezers, and we lost very few animals, and the data - I've heard no reports on any problems with the data repository. From one perspective, a very successful plan was in place, very successfully oriented. Our plans were oriented more toward a three- to five-day downtime, with people coming back."
