What are the boxes set to do when power is restored after a failure? 
Stay off, turn on, or return to whatever state they were in before?  I'm 
asking because of a possibility your statement brought to mind.  I don't 
know about you, but I live in earthquake country.[1][2]  Let's say 
there's a major quake and breakers pop.  When they get reset, backup 
power reaches the boxes.  If they come back up and need to get 
thoroughly fscked, will there be an admin capable of dealing with it?

[1]Everyplace is earthquake country if you wait long enough.
[2]In my case, the San Andreas Fault.
