You might start by moving infrastructure out of the hurricane. Off the east coast would be nice, but at the very least outside of a mandatory evacuation zone [1]. Alternatively, you could design some type of system that would allow you to fail over to a geographically redundant datacenter. Joel claimed in 2007 [2] that they had such a system, and touted it as a selling point of the reliability of the hosted service. What has happened to it is probably only something that a Fog Creek engineer can tell you.
