Extended Droughts Sample Clauses

Extended Droughts. 19 As the Committee began to delve into the issue of climate change, the Technical Team conducted a 20 brief literature search to frame the discussion. A summary of information related to drought is 21 provided here to help frame the issue. 22 Recent evaluations of paleoclimate records and future climate model projections indicate that longer 23 droughts have occurred in the past and are likely to occur again within the next century. In this section 24 we review paleoclimate and climate change projection studies relevant to drought planning in 25 California and the Santa Xxxx region. Several publications, including some very recent ones, compare 26 modern climate observations to historical records and to future climate projections.

Once the request is escalated to a specialized support team, the customer will be notified and the specialized support team may contact the customer for further information and testing. Once the specialized support team resolves the request, the general support team will review the resolution to ensure quality control. Once the general support team confirms the resolution has met the customer’s needs, the request will be closed. Communication with the customer will be via email. If the customer does not reply within 3 business days, the ticket will be automatically closed. Prioritization – all support requests will be given a medium priority unless the customer indicates an impact or urgency that requires a higher prioritization. Impact is defined as the affect to which a technology service or system is inhibiting the customer’s ability to conduct University business.

Change Management and Service Reviews‌ WashU IT has established a change management and service review process to ensure changes and enhancements of services and systems are done in a controlled manner to prevent unintended consequences and to confirm that changes and updates are implemented according to an approved framework. Change Management The complete change management process is documented in the WashU IT Change Management Charter, but the following highlights from this charter are worth noting. Changes and updates to systems and services fall into one of three general categories: Standard – changes and updates that are considered routine, well documented and of low risk to the University. Normal – changes and updates that require scheduled review and approval by the Change Advisory Board (CAB) to ensure mitigation of risk to the University. Emergency – changes and updates that cannot wait until the next scheduled CAB meeting for approval and must be reviewed by the CAB to address a CRITICAL incident or upgrade. All non-standard changes will be communicated to customer according to established customer communication channels. All customer requests for a non-standard change or upgrade to a WashU IT supported service or system must follow the WashU IT change management process.

Both parties play an important role in ensuring the overall health of services.
