-When a local network event takes place, often IT resources get solely placed into troubleshooting and healing the network.  This is a great primary action but consider and start moving a Plan B in the event that healing the network does not work.  Restoring from backup to a different server may not seem like a great plan now.  But when it can take days to get parts for a failed server resource, operating on a slower second option will seem like a good option to have.
