Look, what was wrong with Dillon's response? Are you saying you should not try to protect your POP? Lets look back at some of the things Michal said.
Take samples from the fuel tank and test them every time tanks are filled.
This is a basic thing and is easy to do and will save a lot of downtime if you catch a problem. It also helps to run your generator every week or so.
Don't site buildings where there have been floods in the past 500 years and don't site buildings downstream from dams. If a waterproof buildingis built in a flood area, make sure that snorkles rise above the 500 year flood level.
This is a very basic thing and all of us should try to do this.
When siting a diesel exhaust system make sure that there are no trees, towers or similar things nearby that could fall on it. If in a hurricane area, reinforce diesel snorkels and arrange for multiple paths to get air in.
One more good tip, it is not hard to do this, and I have watched systems go down because of this. It all could have been avoided if they would have done this. Nathan Stratton CEO, NetRail, Inc.

Talking to a hydrologist is definitely a good thing (one I know has a great Hagar cartoon with someone explaining the "benefits" of living near a river :->) but I'm not sure the "500 year flood" is the right answer... Even if it is, you need to worry about "jumps" in the time series - usually human-induced, e.g. building new dams, diversions, parking lots, suburbs, etc. Regards, -james ____________________________________________________________________________ James W.
