Many companies may not take such simple steps, though—and employees perceive it. A study last year of nearly 1,400 U.S.-based employees commissioned by FM Global found that 75 percent of workers felt their employers were not well prepared for a natural disaster. If the workers are correct, many of those companies will not survive should a catastrophe occur. The U.S. Department of Labor statistics indicate 40 percent of American businesses never reopen after a natural disaster.”
What should the government do to provide incentives to improve disaster readiness? Do you feel that your organization (just make something up) is crisis ready? Why or why not?
