Re: Poor planning on behalf of the hosting company.

Uhhhh...no. Just ask the Fukushima Daiichi people about engineering stuff to withstand anything. They had pretty good engineering, but there will always be that tornado/tsunami/earthquake/whatever which is stronger than ever encountered in human history. That's also not to mention all dependencies, such as data links and such which will have a tough time surviving storms, earthquakes, and such. The only complete answer is geographic diversity; some even maybe on a coast, some inland, some in the mountains, you name it.

What you are talking about costs a lot of money. For some companies it's cheaper to take a hit for a few days than it is to spend 2-3 times the money on a "what if" scenario.
