Facility

In 1999, PDS built a state-of-the-art 40,000 square foot records storage facility in Melbourne, FL.  PDS’ facility is the only records storage center in Brevard County specifically designed and constructed from the “ground up” to comply with ARMA  (The Association of Record Managers & Administrators), NFPA  (The National Fire Protection Association), and PRISM  (Professional Records & Information Services Management) guidelines including tilt-wall (concrete) construction, a climate controlled environment, CCTV, a media vault with FM-200 fire suppression technology, and sophisticated sprinkler and alarm systems.  In addition, PDS’ facility is a NARA (National Archives & Records Management) compliant facility.

Some other specifications of the facility include:  Flood Zone X (FEMA Map #12009C0506E) – area determined to be outside 500 year flood plane and a non-flood hazard.  Storm Surge Classification – 25 years.  The building is engineered to withstand 130 mph winds.

In the event of a disaster, PDS currently has in place and will follow its Disaster Recovery Plan.
