Data centers, which support critical infrastructure such as emergency services, government websites, and healthcare facilities, are vulnerable to climate-related hazards. A thorough assessment of these assets can help identify which ones are most at risk of damage and disruption from climate-related events such as heatwaves, hurricanes, and flooding. This information can inform decisions on new site locations and mitigation strategies for existing sites. Conducting a resilience strategy assessment can also help companies uncover opportunities for cost savings and revenue generation, such as installing solar panels to power their operations. Additionally, proactively implementing resiliency measures can enhance a company’s intangible value, as it can demonstrate a commitment to safety and security, and attract tenants who prioritize these values. A well-planned and implemented resiliency strategy can help companies not only mitigate the risks posed by climate change but also benefit from its opportunities. By doing so, companies can increase their preparedness, reduce costs, and create new revenue streams.
