I agree entirely. We are used to thinking of and planning for
emergencies that may be severe, but are local. But there have been many
cases (e.g., the Asian tsunami, the big northeast power grid failure, an
ice storm in Quebec) in which there have been severe geographically
widesperead disturbances.
The only real alternative is a backup that is geographically far away.
I would consider something like 500 miles, as the minimum reasonable
distance, and would really prefer something on the order of 1,000 miles
(yes, in a small country, that may mean on the other side of an
international border).
