Natural disasters cause significant damage every year, impacting lives, businesses, and economies. According to FEMA, natural disasters in the U.S. result in billions of dollars in damages annually. For organizations, the key to mitigating these costs lies in proactive planning and preparedness. SBM's proven approach to risk management ensures that sites are not only prepared but also resilient, protecting critical assets and minimizing operational shutdowns.
- The Financial and Operational Impact of Disasters: For large organizations, the stakes are high: disruptions can affect critical infrastructure, lead to substantial revenue losses, and cause prolonged operational shutdowns. Effective disaster preparedness and recovery planning are essential to protect vital assets, ensure business continuity, and minimize the impact of unforeseen events. Implementing preparedness strategies and processes helps safeguard operations and maintain stability during and after major events.
- SBM’s Proactive Approach to Mitigating Risk: SBM partners with clients to develop customized preparedness plans tailored to the unique risks each site faces.

By providing SBM associates onsite with real-time updates, the platform ensures that teams are well-informed and ready to act swiftly, helping to maintain the integrity of critical systems and minimize disruptions.
- Training and Drills to Build Resilience: Regular training and drills are essential components of SBM’s preparedness programs. These exercises prepare employees to respond effectively to emergencies, reducing the risk of costly mistakes and ensuring operational continuity.
