The building analogy works. If you're in a highrise, no elevator service is going to impact your business. The back analogy works too. If you're an oil company

The building analogy works. If you're in a highrise, no elevator service is going to impact your business.
The back analogy works too. If you're an oil company, Goldman Sachs, AT&T or something similar, you have the bucks to pay someone for an empty emergency office complex for critical staff.
If you're anyone else, you're screwed when the elevators break/street floods/bridge falls down. That doesn't mean that buying a building or building a dam is a viable business continuity strategy.
- tedjdziuba 15y agoNo, presumably if you're in a highrise, you are not running a retail business and your employees can work from home. It's an impact, but not a material one. A better analogy would be setting up a retail shop on a busy street where every now and then, the police completely close off the street, and when you ask them why they've done it, they tell you that it's none of your concern. Yet, people still continue to open shops on this street, that is, until the customers start going somewhere else.
