Then you should not do it. It is a calculated risk and you have not be able to afford it, not doing it or accept the consequence. Frankly cannot have 99.9999 power in any case. Too expensive in the power company side. Average and the special issue.

They don't need 99.9999% power uptime, it is common to have UPS backups for critical equipment to cover brownouts and even day-long outages. This has been going on for 3 days and might last 5. That's not even 90% / one-nine uptime on a monthly basis.

What 4th option are you criticising? Unless you're saying that if they don't immediately throw up their hands, try to do nothing, and go home when the power goes out, they're not "accepting the consequences"?
