We have a backup NOC 1,200 miles away. All the tools are set up and kept running in two places and at least once a year Ann Arbor intentionally hands off NOC duties to Elmsford. The people issue is the main problem, with Elmsford not being as familiar with day to day NOC operations. Both NOCs are connected to two POPs in different states with alegedly diverse circuits. Neither NOC has generators but the last time the UPS ran out we had NOC service cut over in time. This is also why we have DNS servers in different states (and kerberos slave servers and other critical services).

I don't think a cell phone and a laptop would cut it.
