The recent weather across the United States has been a stark reminder of just how disruptive flooding can be to business continuity and site operations.
In just the past few weeks, we've seen devastating flooding in Texas, while across the Northeast repeated rounds of intense thunderstorms have triggered dangerous flash flooding. Rather than being driven by tropical systems, many of these events have been caused by slow-moving storms developing in extreme heat, with some areas receiving more than two inches of rain in a single hour. When that volume of water falls so quickly, even well-designed stormwater systems can become overwhelmed, leaving businesses, critical infrastructure and communities facing significant disruption.
At the same time, wildfires in the Pacific Northwest and smoke affecting millions of people across the country have highlighted the growing challenge of managing multiple weather hazards at once.
The financial case for investing in resilience is becoming increasingly compelling. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, every $1 not invested in disaster resilience today can cost communities up to $33 in lost future economic activity.
For those responsible for critical infrastructure, commercial property and industrial sites, these kinds of events reinforce a fundamental point:
Resilience isn't something that's considered once a storm has been forecast. It needs to be built directly into the way facilities are designed, maintained and protected day-to-day.
How is your organization adjusting its long-term facility protection strategy in response to these changing weather patterns? Let's discuss below. ๐
