The impacts of fire and other emergencies

Did you know, that in 2012 the cost of fire damage in the UK was £620m – equating to £1.7 million every single day? On top of this, it is estimated that over a third of businesses never resume operations after a major fire - losing orders, contracts, and key employees, which results in lost jobs and services to the community.

However, while fire is still the most common reason for evacuation, emerging threats such as terrorism, social activism and crime should also be considered as potential evacuation triggers.

In this white paper, we explore the financial costs of emergencies and the impact they have on businesses and the economy.
