While the immediate impacts of catastrophic events focus on property damage, the business interruption losses can be tenfold greater. According to a recent study led by Noah Dormady of The Ohio State University, investing in resilience tactics can dramatically reduce these losses. Noah is an energy and environmental economist and public policy scholar. Based on new metrics, Noah’s research team surveyed firms affected by Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Harvey and found that for every dollar spent on resilience, firms avoided an average of $4.57 in business interruption. |
