UPDATE: What Will a More Severe Hurricane Season in 2013 Mean for Business?
(firmenpresse) - HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 03/29/13 -- ImpactWeather predicts that 2013 will bring a series of hurricanes more severe than 2012. Senior ImpactWeather Meteorologist Chris Hebert provides the following outlook, based on averages of past seasons, ocean temperature trends, and the absence of an El Niño influence from the Tropical Pacific:
As witnessed in the wake of Hurricane Sandy -- which had devastating effects to the east coast, including over $50 billion in losses, as well as flooding, power outages and other destruction in 24 states -- many businesses were closed for days or weeks. The possibility of even stronger hurricanes occurring in 2013 means that any operation concerned about its balance sheet must take heed.
"Since weather is the number one cause of business disruption, this prediction carries much weight for companies focused on protecting their people and their assets," states Mark Chambers, President of ImpactWeather. "Considerations such as when -- or even if -- operations must be shut down, damage to facilities, supply chain interruptions, and safety protocols are all top-of-mind when severe weather is imminent."
"An increasing number of companies, after seeing the effects of hurricanes like Katrina, Ike and Sandy, are implementing strategies to aid them in making the best business decisions possible when confronted by weather-related risk," continues Chambers. "With even more severe hurricanes on the horizon for 2013, preparedness and planning should be of paramount importance."
