ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Ian, rescue missions and recoveries are on the way. Once people have been taken care of, housing damages assessed, and power restored, many will come to realize that their beloved electronic devices such as their computers and smartphones have been damaged. This is often the case after a Hurricane as severe as Ian where power outages and flooding's affect computers and mobile phones. Unfortunately, this leaves residents of the affected areas without the means to access their family pictures from water-damaged iPhones and Android Phones or to access their business files from failed computers affected by lightning strikes or power outages. Attempting recovery from drives, cell phones, or any digital storage devices that have been exposed to moisture, water, flood, or electrical surges requires specialized techniques and equipment. If improperly handled, data loss from such catastrophic failures can render data permanently irretrievable.
