The possibility of a power outage seems to grow every year because of demand and an aging infrastructure. What can/should companies do to mitigate this risk?
KB Homes is a nationwide home builder that develops entire communities of dozens and even hundreds of homes, in addition to, building custom homes for individual customers.

Do you agree or disagree? Why?
