Not necessarily, I wouldn't consider 20 feet to be safe enough if you're close
to a major river. Look at recent flood events like the one in Cedar Rapids:
Cedar Rapids, Iowa -
My desires/reasons:
1. As close to center of building and/or telco feeds as possible.
2. Away from any wet-walls (walls that feed plumbing.)
3. Not on the ground floor or top floor because of potential flooding
or leaking from external environments.
4. Try to avoid windowed rooms, or anything that
Are you in a flood zone? If the city drainage is clogged, is your
building on a higher elevation?
My personal opinion is to go on the second or third floor which would

I would think a couple of factors to consider for 1st floor DC
1) Are there main water pipes near the area
2) Will you have a raised floor, just in case some water comes in
3) Is there a basement?
If there is not a
