Some other thoughts:

- Personnel-level warning to immediately rerack servers, close racks, and get off ladders and away from fall hazards

- Proactively spin up generators to reduce failover in the more-likely event of a power disruption

- Potentially temporarily shut off very large circulation fans so that blades don't collide with the housings

- Potentially stop and carefully restart cooling water loops, in case there's a rupture in the system somewhere

Good list.

Add to this: initiate failover or zone transfer of distributed servers / services to other DCs outside the likely impacted area.

Personally, I’d rather have the generators off when the earthquake hits!
