Chautauqua County Government Chief Information Officer Jonathan DeAngelo reports that numerous computers and servers within the county's network have been affected by a global technology outage impacting Microsoft and CrowdStrike. "Our dedicated IT team has been working diligently since 1 AM to address and resolve these issues," said DeAngelo.
He explained that each computer requires individual attention, meaning the restoration process will take some time. "We want to assure the community that while the 911 services remained operational, certain emergency-related applications experienced disruptions but have since been fully restored," he added.
DeAngelo emphasized that emergency response is not impacted by the outage. "Radio communications and dispatch services remain operational. Our primary focus was on ensuring these critical services were back online as quickly as possible."
Despite ongoing technical challenges, all county government offices will be open for business today. "We kindly ask for the community’s patience and understanding as our county employees work to resolve these issues promptly," DeAngelo concluded.
