Thornton Tomasetti
Key Takeaways
- Outdated Plans and Testing - Facility managers often neglect updating site plans and testing backup systems, risking ineffective disaster response.
- Poor Documentation and Collaboration - Inadequate records and limited stakeholder engagement weaken insurance claims and recovery.
Thornton Tomasetti Vice President Hiva Nasiri shares his insights on risk assessment mistakes and is featured as the opening quote in Maura Keller's latest article for Facilitiesnet, "Common Risk Assessment Mistakes Facility Managers Make."
The article emphasizes crucial areas often overlooked, such as neglecting disaster response drills and insufficient testing of backup power systems like generators and microgrids. These are critical steps to ensure facilities are truly prepared for high-impact weather events and other disruptions.
At Thornton Tomasetti, we're committed to helping organizations build resilience and avoid these pitfalls through comprehensive applied science and engineering solutions.
Drills for disaster response by residence or immediate response teams also may be neglected or performed by long delays which may result in slow or inappropriate response.
