Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Sandra Rosa was, and is, the current director of the Center for Access to Information (CAI) when hurricanes Irma and Maria struck the island. The Institution followed planned procedures to protect assets of the building. A few days after the Hurricane the employees were able to assess the damage of the structure and the collections. They experienced mold, broken windows, water damage on paintings, and trees that fell around the structure.
Due to the prompt cleaning plans, and the disbursement of funds to evaluate and restore the paintings that were damaged, in just three weeks after the hurricane they were operating for the public even without power to accommodate their students and campus population.
One of the flaws they saw was that they didn’t have an emergency generator and currently they are installing one for future situations.
