RE: disaster plan for small shops

We are just getting around to an actual hotsite.

We have a generator big enough to run the building.  And it is fed by a 
natural gas pipeline.  Turns out that a large generator can suck a 
sizeable LP tank dry in a day or two.  Our new hotsite will be close 
enough that we negotiated a sweet deal with a telephone company to trench 
fiber all the way to it (in return for use of our wireless towers), but 
far enough that it should be out of tornado range (about 20 miles).

We decided that if the computer is running on generator, it would be nice 
to run the air conditioning units prior to a total meltdown, and we should 
have power so that people could flood the building with PC's to do data 
entry.  The building is under occupied right now.
