ASDA Storm Relief Response

PXL_20230401_121954178

The outbreak of tornadoes and severe thunderstorms that struck Arkansas on Friday, March 31 dealt a crippling blow to hundreds of businesses and residences in our state. Unfortunately, several dental offices did not escape the damage either. To that end, ASDA wants to know and we’re asking for your help.

 

Please help ASDA gather information on dentists who may have suffered damage from Friday’s weather events. Whether it was you who experienced a loss or another dentist we want to gather information as to how we may be of assistance.

 

Obviously, insurance will be the first resource in assembling the data necessary to address property losses, but ASDA has access to limited funds that may be used for expenses that may not otherwise covered by the doctor’s insurance policies.

 

For the time being, we will gather basic information and reach out to you or the affected parties as soon as possible. More detailed information will be requested at a later date.

DATA RECOVERY

During this time of recovery, Standard Computer is offering free data recovery services to any dental office that was impacted from the storms. According to CEO Sean Kubin, “If a dentist’s server won’t boot, we will try to recover data to a loaner server or virtual machine.” He said they can also provide estimates or statements for electrical or flood damage to offices. Just email staff@standardcomputer.com or call 501-224-0050 ext. 1 for more information
