W. H. Reaves has an extensive Business Continuity Plan in

place to address potential emergencies and insure uninterrupted

operation of its business.

Back-up Site  

At the core of the plan is a remote back-up facility, exclusively

owned and operated by the company, that will be employed if

access to our principal location is unavailable for any reason. 

The facility is close enough so that it can be operational

within a few hours and far enough away so that its electric and

communications services and environment are distinct from

those serving the company’s principal location. It is fully

equipped to take over operation of the business, if required,

including all of W. H. Reaves’ mission critical systems, as well

as maintaining communication with our clients, vendors and

all regulatory authorities. The facility is maintained and updated

regularly and fully tested periodically.

Data Backup

All system and data files are backed-up daily and stored off-site

at a secure location. This includes our Firm’s books and records.

Virtual Private Network

Key personnel are equipped with special software to allow them

to interact with company facilities and back-up facilities from

their homes. The facilities are protected from intruders by a state-

of-the-art firewall.

Vendor Protection 

Finally, we are satisfied that our major vendors, including

suppliers of data and custodial and banking services, also have

adequate arrangements to permit their continued operation in

case of emergency.

Updates

In case of an event requiring W. H. Reaves to implement

its Business Continuity Plan we will post further information on

our website at www.whreaves.com.

department if you have any questions.
