> What counts as "disruption"? A member of staff being half an hour late in to work one day because of a road closure?
I was wondering that.
Our hosting was affected by a "natural disaster" - the power went off during a snow storm when a broken neutral on the 132kV lines up the coast broke and blew across the phase lines and tripped the circuit off. The lights were back on again in 1/2 hour thanks to some employees of the local DNO braving the foul weather to physically disconnect some cables to isolate that section of line and allow ours to be turned back on.
I think it was that outage that persuaded the boss to replace the failed UPS !

So like a lot of idiots, you built a facility right next door to a huge oil storage and processing facility - and then complained when there was a problem there and it affected you ? AIUI, Bunsfield was put where it was specifically so it was "on it's own" and it had road access to the motorway without all those tankers going through built up areas.
I guess that open space and motorway access was also attractive to idiots who's idea of risk assessment is to wail afterwards "it's your fault for putting that hazard there that I built right next to when it should have been obvious that it was a bad idea". That's in the same league as people who move into a house next to <something> (say an airport) and then complain about the noise from that <something> (such as the noise from the aircraft).
We had one in our town - some incomer moved in, and then complained about the clock that had been striking for ... well longer than I've been alive ... and forced it to be silenced.
