DriveSavers to Aid Southern California Wildfire Victims

DriveSavers Data Recovery, Inc., in data recovery, eDiscovery and digital forensic solutions, announced free data recovery for residents of Southern California whose computers, phones, flash drives and camera cards were damaged in the ongoing wildfires.

DriveSavers has a record of overcoming physical damage to devices caused by flooding, fire, mechanical failure, software corruption, malware and more. Its engineers are experts at saving photos and videos, business files and financial records.

Employees of the company experienced firsthand the tragedy associated with this type of disaster. Many DriveSavers employees were evacuated or displaced due to the recent Sonoma, Napa and Lake County wildfires, and Mike Cobb, the company’s director of engineering, lost his Santa Rosa home.

“We understand what residents of Southern California are going through and our hearts go out to them,” said DriveSavers president Scott Moyer. “As we’ve offered assistance in the past to victims of floods, fires and natural disasters, we are once again providing our services at no charge.“

Southern California residents with fire-damaged devices who require data recovery should contact DriveSavers no later than January 12, 2018. There is a limit of one device per business or household. Customers needing additional recoveries, and those with multi-disk devices such as RAID and NAS, are eligible for a 50% discount off of regular service fees.

DriveSavers will accept as many devices that it can. However, the number of free recoveries may be limited based on workload, cost of parts and availability of personnel.
