Weather Preparedness and Resilience: Insights From the Field
NORTHAMPTON, MA / / July 16, 2025 / With hurricane season ramping up and severe weather events becoming more frequent, businesses across sectors face increasing pressure to proactively prepare for potential disruption. In our recent webinar entitled, "Disaster Preparedness: Practical Strategies for Business Continuity," Lauren Corbett-Noon, Consumer and Industrial Goods Segment Leader at Antea Group, moderated a discussion on this topic featuring Noel Russ, Incident Management (AIM) Service Leader, and Marshall Stageberg, Meteorologist. In this webinar, they shared practical insights on how organizations can strengthen their weather resilience strategies. Below, here are four key takeaways to help your organization prepare, protect, and respond more effectively. To listen to the full webinar, click the link: Webinar: Disaster Preparedness: Practical Strategies for Business Continuity by Antea Group USA 1. Contingency Planning Requires Ownership A plan sitting on a shelf isn't a preparedness strategy-it's a missed opportunity. Organizations are finding it beneficial to go beyond writing emergency response and business continuity plans. At the minimum, these plans must be: Up to date and reviewed regularly Assigned to a responsible owner within the company Practiced through regular drills with employees and responders Backed by employee training and accessible in both digital and hard copy formats Not keeping your contact information, site details, or procedures up to date can cause serious delays, lead to regulatory penalties, and make these resources useless during an emergency. 2. Don't Wait to Vet and Contract Response Partners When disaster strikes, time is critical. Pre-qualifying and contracting with emergency response vendors in advance enables rapid mobilization and can reduce costs. It is important to have agreements in place with remediation, restoration, specialized clean up, and security contractors before an event occurs. Doing so allows your organization to: Lock in rates and establish scopes of work Vet contractor safety records and insurance Receive priority response during regional crises Avoid costly delays and inflated post-disaster pricing 3. Use the Right Tools to Monitor and Forecast Weather Risk Understanding your site-specific risk is the first step to effective forecasting. Geography literacy and knowledge of forecast timescales are critical for interpreting weather data and acting early. Organizations can use trusted tools to monitor evolving risks. Such organizations include: National Weather Service and National Weather Service Point Forecasts for official daily forecasts National Hurricane Center for storm tracking National Water Prediction Center for flood modeling Storm Prediction Center and AirNow for wildfire, severe weather, and air quality By combining long-, mid-, and short-range forecasts with real-time alerts, businesses can activate protocols based on weather triggers tied to their contingency plans. 4. Protect Your People, Equipment, and Facilities When extreme weather threatens, the top priorities should be safety, operational continuity, and minimizing asset damage. Key strategies include: Employee protection: Know when to shelter in place vs. evacuate, and make sure all personnel understand the plan Equipment relocation: Move vehicles, tanks, and mobile assets prior to the arrival of an impending storm to avoid unnecessary losses Facility hardening: Take proactive steps such as clearing drainage, elevating equipment, sealing vulnerable areas, and upgrading HVAC systems, including filters, for wildfire smoke Simple measures like staging assets in advance or having backup generators can yield significant cost savings and reduce downtime. Frequently Asked Questions Q: What are the impacts of some of the budget cuts to NOAA? A: While core weather forecasting services from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service remain unaffected, budget cuts have limited the availability of specialized forecasts and event planning support from local offices due to staffing shortages. Recent hiring approvals are expected to help restore some of these capabilities over time. Q: If you had to pick two plans to concentrate on, which would you choose? A: The two most essential plans to focus on are an Emergency Response Plan, which addresses all potential facility risks, and a Business Continuity Plan, which addresses operations so they can recover quickly after a disruption. Both of these plans help identify critical functions, evaluate internal and external threats, and often encompass elements of other preparedness plans. Q: What is involved with having an emergency response plan drill? A: An emergency response drill is a valuable opportunity to test communication, coordination, and plan effectiveness by involving key responders such as contractors, Emergency Medical Technician (EMTs), and local authorities. Drills help identify gaps, allow others to review and challenge the plan, and support continuous improvement through post-drill evaluations. Looking Ahead Preparedness is not a one-time activity; it's an ongoing process of planning, training, monitoring, and refining. By taking steps now, organizations can significantly reduce both the human, operational, and financial impacts of extreme weather events. If you have questions, our team is here to help!

Italian cybersecurity firm Exein sees defence boost as it closes funding round
(Reuters) -Italian tech firm Exein said on Wednesday a pick up in European defence spending was supporting its domestic growth, as it closed a funding round aimed at global expansion. The startup, which provides embedded cybersecurity on small devices including chips, is planning to expand its range of products as countries and businesses move away from cloud-based systems because of data sovereignty concerns and rising costs, its Chief Executive Gianni Cuozzo said. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Italy has been trying for years to foster a tech startup sector. As European countries increase their defence spending in a push to meet NATO targets and protect themselves against Russian expansionism, demand for domestic cybersecurity and infrastructure protection systems is increasing. BY THE NUMBERS Exein said on Wednesday its Series C funding round raised 70 million euros ($81 million) for expansion across the United States, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea, and to strengthen its European presence. Its plans include acquisitions in Europe and the U.S. to target new users, followed by another funding round for a "bigger acquisition", and a public listing between 2029 and 2030, Cuozzo said. The group, whose clients include MediaTek, Daikin, Seco and Kontron, said in April it was valued at around 500 million euros. It is targeting 20 million euros in revenues this year and aiming for triple-digit revenue growth in each of the next three years, helped by acquisitions, Cuozzo said. KEY QUOTE Attackers "are no longer breaching through the front door; the microwave on a military ship, or the smart fish tank in a hospital waiting room - any one of these could be exploited to compromise the entire network," said Elena Moneta, Principal at London-based VC firm Balderton, which led the funding round.
