Consider the following ...

• At least 30% of operating small businesses have been closed 24 hours or longer in the last three years due to a natural disaster. The most frequent type of event is a blizzard/ice storm/extreme cold (20 percent). About one-quarter as many experienced a closure due to tornados, hurricanes or typhoons; wind or hail storms; or floods. Fires, drought or extreme heat, and earthquakes, landslides, or sink holes also resulted in closures.

• Defining extreme impact on a business as "non-operational for at least one week and/or damage amounting to $100,000 or more", about 2-3 percent of small businesses experienced an extreme impact from a natual disaster in the last three years.

• While most disaster events are winter-storm related, the most destructive events individually are tornados, hurricanes, and typhoons.

• 62% of those struck by a natural disaster say the biggest problem caused was the loss of sales and customers; 18 percent say that the biggest problem was uninsured losses. While many believe in hindsight that they were adequately insured, the lack of adequate insurance coverage was more frequently associated with continuing operations (59 percent) than destruction of physical property (44 percent).

• Only two in five (38 percent) small employers have an emergency preparedness plan that they communicate to their employees.

• 34% of U.S. companies have had business operations significantly interrupted because of lightning storms.

• 17% of U.S. companies have had business operations significantly interrupted because of floods.

• 14% of U.S. companies have had business operations significantly interrupted because of fires and/or explosions.

• 12% of U.S. companies have had business operations significantly interrupted because of hurricanes.
