September marks the beginning of National Preparedness Month, a nationwide campaign to increase awareness about disaster preparedness. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), there were 18 weather/climate disasters in 2022 with losses exceeding $1 billion. While late summer often brings hurricanes, we know that wildfires, earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters can happen at any time. These events take both a personal and professional toll and are often accompanied by long and costly interruptions to business operations and home life. We believe it is in all our best interests to be prepared for these events ahead of time and are happy to announce the addition of a natural disaster resource guide for ASA members. We are grateful for the guidance of the Attorneys’ Council and ASA sponsor Assured Partners, as well as input provided by Southwest Florida Executive Director, LaRae Davenport Rose, in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, in compiling this valuable resource.  Please visit FASA Natural Disaster Guide – American Subcontractors Association – National (ASA) (asaonline.com) to begin your preparation today.
