Become more resilient by preparing for simultaneous critical events
Become more resilient by preparing for simultaneous critical events
With hurricane and wildfire season forecasted to be more active than in years past, critical event managers must be prepared. According to the World Meteorological Organization*, economic losses due to severe weather events have increased sevenfold over the last 50 years. To avoid these extreme losses, disaster response planning takes on heightened urgency.
Fortunately, Everbridge has identified four strategic vectors of greatest importance for governments, organizations, and businesses seeking to mitigate the impact of severe weather events during layered crises.
In addition to recommending four necessary steps to mitigate harm, this white paper explores:
- Resilience in crisis management: Gain insights about the challenges in managing overlapping crises. Discover the need for resilience in crisis management, given the extent and duration of such crises.
- Impact of siloed systems: Learn about the negative consequences of relying on multiple, separate systems for critical event management (CEM). The siloed nature of these solutions can complicate processes and pose challenges for security experts, potentially leading to financial losses and damage to stakeholder confidence.
- Understanding weather patterns: The timing and pathways of severe weather events in the United States, such as hurricanes and tropical storms, is unique. Understand the factors that influence hurricane activity, including ocean temperatures and meteorological events like La Niña and El Niño.
- Benefits of an integrated CEM platform: Uncover how an integrated CEM platform can provide a consolidated response to critical events. A critical event management platform can enable proactive threat alerts, risk assessment, and automated action plans, enhancing the ability to mitigate risks effectively.
