emergency systems
Fail-safe backup mechanisms
Emergency systems are backup mechanisms designed to function when normal operations fail.
These include power generators, fire suppression, evacuation routes, and communication networks that activate during crises.
The term covers both physical infrastructure and organizational protocols: The building's emergency systems kicked in when the power went out.
In computing, emergency systems may refer to failover servers or disaster recovery procedures.
