Pomona sits at the eastern edge of Los Angeles County in the Pomona Valley, home to Cal Poly Pomona, Western University of Health Sciences, and the Fairplex grounds where the LA County Fair is held. Inland summer heat, Santa Ana winds, earthquakes, and older homes with aging wiring are the main local threats to devices. We recover data for Pomona residents and students by mail.
Pomona is well inland, so summer afternoons run much hotter than the coast, and a laptop or external drive left in a parked car near campus can overheat quickly. In fall and winter, Santa Ana winds can drive wildfires in the San Gabriel foothills to the north and bring planned power shutoffs and smoke. Keep devices out of hot cars, store backups in a cooled room, put desktops on a UPS, and clean ash and dust out of vents after windy or smoky stretches.
Many of Pomona's neighborhoods have older homes with aging electrical systems, few grounded outlets, and overloaded power strips, which are hard on computers over time. The region also sits among several active faults, and strong shaking can knock towers and drives to the floor. Use grounded outlets and a surge protector, secure tall computers and NAS units, keep drives off shelf edges, and keep a copy of important files in the cloud.
