Rationale: Sufficient fuel should be on hand to power generators for at least one week; therefore, a 10-day supply is not a threat. The presence of excessive heat can threaten IS by shutting down computers and causing processing errors. Housing IS in areas above the first floor means key computers and data are not threatened by potential flooding. Underground power lines are not a threat.
