Spring Storms: Preparing a Better Simulation for Tornado Preparedness

The effects of extreme weather events, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters, are far-reaching. These events can cause destruction to homes and businesses, contaminate water sources and disrupt infrastructure. They also can lead to major economic losses, with some estimates predicting extreme weather events cause a combined annual global economic loss of $2 trillion.

A good way to understand if your business is prepared is to conduct tabletop exercises. Tabletop exercises can be very effective because they help identify areas where changes or improvements may need to be made. They are also useful for other scenarios such as cyber-attacks, violent intruder situations, supply chain issues and product recalls, to name a few.
