A hurricane has the power to not only upend the lives of those in its wake, but can also represent a major expense for governments, businesses, and individuals.
The gale-force winds, powerful storm surges, and torrential downpours caused by these major storms can have devastating effects on businesses and the environment, disrupting supply chains and destroying livelihoods and lives while also potentially contaminating sensitive ecosystems with wastewater or chemicals.
To minimize losses and protect both your people and property, it’s important to be aware of the potential impacts of hurricanes on your organizations and your unique geographic risk factors.
Although such natural catastrophe events can be extremely destructive, thorough and proactive planning, including risk modeling and appropriate insurance coverage, can help support your resilience efforts so that you can return to normal as quickly as possible.
