Natural Disasters & Extreme Weather: How to Prepare and React Using Real-Time Information Registration

Abstract:

In the last decade, extreme weather and natural disasters have occurred with greater frequency. When they happen, they create problems for travel, facilities, the supply chain, and your clients. Mitigating these effects is essential, but doing so effectively requires thorough planning and real-time response.
