Bad weather happens. Whether your project site is subject to a hurricane, tornado, high winds, flooding, winter storm or extreme heat, Guardian has you covered. We’ll work with you to create an updated, alternative plan that suits your needs while ensuring that your IT assets and our personnel are protected.
Non-negotiable: Safety is most important

Our first priority is the safety of our employees, partners and customers. There is no reason to risk injury or fatality when roads or skies are not safe.
Reliable communication and flexibility are essential

If our office closes for an unscheduled reason, we will notify you immediately via email. During weather-related emergencies at our northern New Jersey headquarters, we are set up to work remotely and available by cell phone and email.
If your project is unexpectedly delayed, your primary Guardian contact and/or project manager will be in touch with the project’s primary point of contact (POC) immediately by telephone and email.
Notify Guardian

If you are aware or concerned about extreme, inclement weather predicted for your site, please notify your primary Guardian contact and/or project manager asap. Your early warning will absolutely help us reschedule, reprioritize or create a contingency plan to minimize disruption.
