The Internet is a vital part of our work environment today. If your Internet access stops working, do not panic. In the case of such an emergency, follow these steps:
- Determine if your Internet access is through wi-fi or an ethernet cable.
- Check to see if the cable is plugged in.
- Check to see if the wi-fi on you computer is enabled. Sometimes there is a switch that may have been accidentally turned off.
- Sometimes a network or router may go down, thus inhibiting your access to the Internet.
- Check with your IT department to see if they can determine if that is the case.
- If you have followed all of these steps and there is still no Internet, notify all of your co-workers in the area of the emergency.
- Exit the building in an orderly fashion.
- Bring any mobile devices you may have.
- Seek an area safely away for the affected building.
- Determine if wi-fi is available to your mobile device.
- Continue computing to the extent possible on the mobile device.
- DO NOT return to the affected building until the problem has been resolved.
Remember that these procedures are only intended for FUN. Do not take them seriously.
