Key Insights/Highlights From The Episode:

• Disasters are on the rise, know your region and particulars for the types of weather events that are most likely to impact you. Keep in mind the micro/local geography that can affect weather patterns and where there will most likely be floods, fires, or other impacts that may not affect others close by to you.
• Having a disaster preparedness plan in place before issues arise can mitigate a number of issues, and allow for a speedy recovery.
• Consider adding building monitoring/controls that can alert you to flooding or other issues.
• Evaluate what your energy resilience is to ensure your sump pump and other critical equipment will be able to operate in case your power is interrupted.

Key Insights/Highlights From The Episode:

• The security risk identified puts a lot of equipment already onsite and possibly at your facility at risk of spying/interference from foreign governments.
• The low-cost cameras companies have gotten used to are cheap because the Chinese government intentionally undercut the market to drive out competition and get their units in U.S. company facilities. Get used to paying 2-4x the cost you have in the past.
• Plan now, since there is a major overhaul of security equipment around the country. If you thought lead times on new equipment are challenging right now from the COVID induced supply chain disruptions, just wait until federal and other agencies mandated to upgrade cameras start placing orders - get a plan now or you risk not having access to secure equipment for a while.
• Hear some insights from Seth and Andy on how the Veteran community is looking at the withdrawl from Afghanistan.
