Well, we're on the second floor of the data center which has a quite
large basement, which would likely absorb most of the water.  About the
only feasible way for our stuff to get flooded is if the San Andreas
finally gets the "big one" and the west coast of the US falls into the
Pacific, in which case, we'll be worried about other issues, I'm sure.

That being said, you're more than welcome to assist Infrastructure (and
the Foundation) in finding new hosting locations as well as the manpower
to bring new services up in those locations or moving existing services.
Doing moves like this is a bunch of work, and not something I feel we
should be "dumping" on the Infrastructure team.

Can I assume this building has indoor plumbing?  It can be on the top floor and still get flooded.  I saw a house once that the hot water heater busted and water was about a foot deep and was coming out the walls.

More than one way to "flood" a building.  :/
