With the arrival of hurricane season, businesses in vulnerable regions must brace themselves for the potential impacts of powerful storms. Without adequate preparation, the repercussions of a hurricane can be catastrophic: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) estimates that 25% of small businesses don’t reopen after disasters. But, the agency notes, “Having an emergency disaster plan and a continuity of operations plan in place can reduce that risk and help the business recover faster.”      The 2024 hurricane season predictions are now out. Learn what’s in store for your region and how to prepare for it with our latest hurricane season guide: https://lnkd.in/gHq9VqSv

Artificial intelligence may replace many skills and capacities, but the ability to be aware of your surroundings and know how to react in real-time is still uniquely human. This skill, known as situational awareness, is crucial whether you're stationed in a bustling office, operating in the field, or traveling to high-risk locations.    Mastering situational awareness allows you to mitigate or avoid threats.

In this month's Risk Barometer, Global Guardian looks at two developments in the Indo-Pacific: Taiwan's presidential inauguration and the recent unrest in New Caledonia.    In response to Taiwan President Lai’s inaugural address, China conducted its third round of major drills simulating a blockade of Taiwan, setting the stage for subsequent drills in the coming months. In New Caledonia, existing ethnic tensions have been exacerbated by foreign actors who seek to destabilize France and the West more broadly.   Learn more in this month’s edition at https://lnkd.in/gEbKy-nu   #intelligence #globalsecurity #geopolitics
