Like, if the power went out?

First, I’d get UPS for the servers. Then whichever server could report the power loss. (Or do you have no notification system at all?)

Or do you mean all servers crashed in a non-power-related incident? How?

How many servers, running what OSes in what roles?

Any solution will require that the monitoring system is up so if you haven’t already you should invest in sufficient UPS capacity to guard against power loss at least until your monitoring system can raise the alarm.
