Wildfires & Air Quality: Impacts on your health and business

RECORDED ON: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2 P.M. ET

Summary

Wildfires and smoke can seriously impact your business. The fire itself can destroy your business, but smoke and other pollutants can cause major health risks to your employees.

Key Highlights

Our experts will provide you with overview of what dangers to be on the lookout for

Health experts will explain the long-term impacts of smoke on your teams

Learn the challenges you could face before, during, and after a wildfire

As we get deeper into wildfire season – ask yourself – is your business prepared?

The devastating fires in Maui and the dangerous air quality issues in the Northeast from the Canadian wildfires highlighted the risks your business faces as a result of wildfires and the air quality concerns caused by smoke. Wildfires are fast-moving and an out-of-control fire can cause property damage, business disruptions, and supply-chain issues. Even if your business isn’t in the direct path of a wildfire, your business could still suffer indirect consequences. It’s important for businesses to be as prepared as possible.

Hear from AccuWeather's wildfire and air quality experts during our Wildfire & Air Quality: Impacts on your health and business webinar about how you can prepare for a wildfire, how smoke impacts the air quality and the long-term effects on the health of your employees and customers.
