Lincoln is Nebraska's capital and a college town, home to the State Capitol and the country's only unicameral state legislature, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and its agricultural research, and a large state government workforce. Plains tornadoes, hail, blizzards, and sharp temperature swings are the local threats to computers and drives. We recover Lincoln devices by mail.
Lincoln sits on the open plains, where spring and summer storms can bring large hail, damaging winds, lightning, and tornado warnings. Storms knock out power and send surges through utility and cable lines. Heavy rain can also send Salt Creek and its tributaries out of their banks. Put desktops and NAS units on a UPS, unplug sensitive electronics during severe storms, keep backup drives off basement floors, and keep a cloud or offsite copy of anything important.
Winters bring blizzards, bitter cold, and strong winds that can cause outages, and temperatures can swing dramatically in a single day. A laptop or drive brought in from a frozen car or farm building collects condensation inside if switched on too soon, and dry indoor heat makes static shocks common. Let cold devices warm up in a closed bag before using them, keep drives in heated rooms, and touch grounded metal before handling bare drives.

Data recovery in Lincoln — common questions
My field laptop got cold and wet doing research outside Lincoln. What should I do?+
Turn it off and do not charge it. Let it warm up in a sealed bag, but do not try to dry it with heat. If it got wet, do not power it on at all; confirm online and ship it with the free prepaid label.

No. ClearQuote has no office or drop-off point in Lincoln or anywhere else. We are a nationwide mail-in service: confirm online and ship from any carrier location in town.
