Common causes of data loss around Boulder

Boulder County knows wildfire risk well, especially after the December 2021 Marshall Fire, which was driven by extreme winds. Strong downslope winds come off the foothills most often in winter, and utilities may cut power to some areas during dangerous wind events to reduce fire risk. Keep a cloud or offsite copy of important work, put desktops and NAS units on a UPS so planned or sudden outages do not catch them mid-write, and keep a backup drive ready to take with you if you need to evacuate.

Boulder also sits at the mouth of steep canyons, and the September 2013 floods showed how quickly heavy rain can send water through creeks and into basements. Many home offices and NAS units live in basements, so keep equipment off the floor. The air is very dry most of the year, so static discharge is a real risk when handling bare drives. Touch grounded metal first and store spare drives in anti-static bags.
