Whether your data center is located in a high risk seismic activity area or not, earthquake damage can be devastating to an unprotected facility. Somewhere in the world, earthquakes are always happening. Magnitude 2 or smaller earthquakes are taking place several hundred times a day across the globe. According to the USGS , it is estimated that there are 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. 100,000 of those can be felt, and 100 of them cause damage with possibly more damage done by a resulting fire than by the earthquake itself. Taking into account seismic activity should be a part of your organization’s business continuity and disaster recovery planning in the event of an earthquake.
