Anaheim is a big Orange County city known for its theme parks, convention center, and pro sports venues, stretching from the dense flatlands up into the canyons of Anaheim Hills. Hospitality and event work, Santa Ana winds, wildfire risk at the hillside edge, and earthquakes all play a part in how devices fail here. We recover Anaheim devices by mail.
Each fall and winter, hot, dry Santa Ana winds blow down through the canyons east of Anaheim, raising fire danger along Anaheim Hills and the Santa Ana River canyon; the 2017 Canyon Fire 2 forced evacuations there. Wildfires bring smoke and ash that get into computer vents, and high winds can cause outages. Keep a current backup on a portable drive you can grab in an evacuation or in the cloud, use a UPS on desktops and home servers, and clean vents after smoky periods.
Like the rest of Southern California, Anaheim is in active earthquake country. A hard drive that is running when it is knocked off a desk can suffer a head crash that damages the platters. Secure desktop towers and NAS units, keep external drives low, and avoid stacking them on top of other equipment. Summer heat in inland Orange County also pushes garages and parked cars well past what drives tolerate, so keep backups indoors.
