Austin is located on a different hurricane trajectory than Houston or Dallas and has had zero reported incidents of hurricanes. In addition, the region has very low levels of seismic risk.
Austin is also the live music capital of the world, home to the University of Texas Longhorns, and nestled amongst Texas' beautiful hill country. All of these factors make Austin an ideal geography for Disaster Recovery.
