Climate Preparation Initiatives

As extreme weather continues to disrupt commerce across the United States, Climate Resilience Consulting has introduced a new resource to strengthen business preparedness. Released during Climate Week New York and aligned with National Preparedness Month, 'The Resilience Advantage: A Small-Business Guide to Preparing for Floods, Heatwaves, Wildfires, and Other Climate Disasters' emphasizes the critical role of small enterprises and the communities that depend on them in advancing climate resilience.

Co-authored by Joyce Coffee and Robert Macnee, PhD, the 12-chapter guide draws on decades of field experience to provide practical tools tailored for entrepreneurs. It combines accessible explanations of key hazards with detailed checklists, case studies, and recovery scenarios that help businesses protect property, operations, and finances. The guide also offers strategies for relocation, advice for larger companies on supporting small businesses, and first-of-its-kind generative AI prompts to enhance resilience planning.
