Could a Simple Balloon mean Lights Out for your Business?

Unfortunately, power outages aren't rare — they’re a recurring threat.  Just yesterday, over 6,700 residents and businesses in Northwest Las Vegas were left in the dark for hours due to a massive outage. 

And only a month ago, a mylar balloon knocked out power to over 10,000 people by downtown Las Vegas.  It caused major disruptions to operations, transportation, and daily life across the entire county.

These incidents aren't just local nuisances — they’re costly disruptions for any business without a continuity plan.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, power outages cost U.S. businesses over $150 billion per year.  Just a few hours offline can result in:

• Lost revenue and productivity

• Missed customer interactions

• Data access issues

• Damaged reputation

That’s why business continuity planning isn’t optional anymore. Every organization should be prepared with:

• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and generators

• Cloud-based applications and backups

• Remote work solutions

• Disaster recovery strategies

Power outages aren’t a matter of “if” — they’re “when.” Plan now.
