If I arrived at my game and no 2nd umpire arrived I would follow the process of my association and call our assigner. I would inform him of the problem and ask how long it would be until a subs arrived. If there was no sub I would cancel the game.
If my partner was injured during the game I would ask if there was anyone present that could umpire the bases. If there was no one I would suspend the game at that point and let the league decide what to do.

In my current residence (WI), no high school game can begin with less than 2 umpires. One doesn't show up, we don't play.

In many areas, including mine, it has become a "safety" issue. That was the reason given for even subvarsity games to require two umpires.
But even better, AAA legion is three man.
