Drought & Water Shortage Insufficient precipitation or water availability that restricts municipal, industrial or facility water supplies and can impair cooling, fire suppression, sanitation, facility operations or dependent utility services.
Earthquakes Sudden ground movement caused by seismic activity that can damage facilities, technology, utilities and transportation infrastructure, disrupt personnel access and impair the operation or recovery of controls.
Fire & Wildfires Fire affecting a facility or surrounding area that can injure personnel, destroy or damage technology and records, interrupt utilities and facility access and impair primary or recovery control capabilities.
Floods Water intrusion or inundation caused by rainfall, surface water, storm surge, infrastructure failure or other sources that can damage facilities and technology, interrupt utilities and make control-supporting locations inaccessible.
Hurricanes & Tropical Storms A hurricane, tropical storm or other tropical cyclone that can produce destructive winds, flooding, storm surge, utility outages, transportation disruption and facility damage that impair control execution or recovery.
Landslides & Debris Flow Movement of soil, rock or debris that can damage or isolate facilities, transportation routes, utilities and communications needed to execute or recover controls.
Pandemic (Disease) Outbreaks A widespread infectious disease event that can reduce workforce availability, disrupt suppliers and essential services, restrict facility access and degrade the organization's ability to operate, monitor or recover controls.
Severe Weather Severe meteorological conditions, including high winds, hail, extreme heat, heavy precipitation or similar events, that can damage facilities or technology, disrupt utilities and transportation, or otherwise degrade control execution.
Space Weather Solar or geomagnetic activity that can disrupt satellites, radio communications, navigation, timing services, electrical grids or other technologies on which control execution depends.
Thunderstorms & Lightning Thunderstorms or lightning that can cause electrical surges, fires, utility outages, communications disruption or equipment damage that impairs control execution.
Tornadoes A tornado or associated severe wind event that can damage facilities, equipment, utilities and transportation infrastructure, endanger personnel and interrupt the operation or recovery of controls.
Tsunamis A tsunami or related coastal inundation event that can cause rapid flooding, structural damage, utility disruption, loss of access and widespread damage to control-supporting facilities and infrastructure.
Volcanoes Volcanic activity, including eruption, ashfall, lava, gases or related seismic effects, that can damage or contaminate facilities and equipment, disrupt transportation and utilities and impair control execution.
Winter Storms & Extreme Cold Snow, ice, freezing temperatures or other severe winter conditions that can interrupt utilities and transportation, damage equipment, restrict personnel access and degrade control execution or recovery.
