Case Study: Gulf Coast State College gets back online after Hurricane Michael with OmniUpdate

On Call During Hurricane Michael, OmniUpdate Helps Gulf Coast State College Get Back Online

Gulf Coast State College, a Florida college serving more than 7,000 students across three campuses, faced a major communications crisis after Hurricane Michael knocked its website offline and disrupted its network. As an OmniUpdate customer using its CMS, the college needed a fast way to restore online access so students, faculty, and staff could stay informed during and after the storm.

OmniUpdate’s support team quickly stepped in to help Gulf Coast State College move to a cloud-based setup, rebuild the system, and launch a temporary site. OmniUpdate staff worked through the weekend, and the college was back online with updates available just four days after the hurricane hit, providing a critical communication channel during recovery.
