[Skeeve Stevens]

Hi all,

Thought this was worth notification to all of Ausnog since there are a lot
of people using Vocus and a level below being directly connected.

End Date: Wednesday 13th August 2014 at 00:00 (UTC)

Please note that during the above window an upstream supplier has advised
Vocus of a hazard condition for Australia-USA and NewZealand-USA submarine
cables due to Hurricane Iselle and Tropical Storm Julio over Hawaii. At the
moment, indications are that the most affected will be the Big Island
(Spencer Beach Cable Station) and to a lesser extent Oahu (Kahe Point Cable
Station).

The most likely impact to the cable stations would be loss of utility power
to the facilities at some stage. However, as both sites have emergency
plants and fuel supplies have been topped up, no loss of power is
anticipated.

Vocus will supply further updates on this hazard condition as they become
available.
