HDI Global’s analysis, prepared by Johanna Rohrer, Risk Analyst Natural Hazards and Climate Risks at HDI Global, HDI Risk Consulting, and Gareth Hopkins, Risk Engineer at HDI Global, HDI Risk Consulting, highlights location-specific risk assessment, reliable access to essential resources, resilient building design and operational preparedness as the principal factors influencing a facility’s ability to withstand disruption and limit financial losses. According to HDI ARGOS 4.0, the metropolitan area is exposed to multiple natural hazards, including earthquakes, severe storms and flooding. HDI Global also notes that climate projections indicate further increases in extreme temperatures and intense precipitation, reinforcing the need for long-term resilience planning. The availability of critical resources is also becoming an increasingly important consideration, according to HDI Global. According to HDI Global, improving resilience requires an ongoing approach rather than a one-off assessment.
