What's the general plan of action when a company's base region shits the bed?

Keep dormant mirrored resources in other regions?

I presumed the draw of us-east-1 was its lower cost, so if any solutions involve spending slightly more money, I'm not surprised high profile companies put all their eggs in one basket.

The draw is versatility, as change didn't require spinning up hardware. No one knew how much the data costs would kill the budget, but now they do.
