Preparedness of typhoons

As we approach the peak of typhoon season, it is essential for businesses to remain vigilant and prepared.

If you don’t have a structured plan in place, response becomes hectic fast—and critical steps get missed.

Last year, Super Typhoon Ragasa was the biggest and most severe storm to impact Hong Kong and Macau. Past storms, such as Super Typhoons “Hato” and “Mangkhut” have highlighted the potential for significant property damage and operational disruptions. To help you navigate this challenging period, we have outlined proactive strategies to mitigate risk and help ensure your business remains resilient in the face of severe weather.

The Typhoon Preparedness and Response Checklist 2026 helps you safeguard your people, property, and operations with clear actions you can execute before, during, and after the storm.

In the checklist, you’ll find practical steps to help you:

  • Confirm employee safety procedures, contact lists, and remote working readiness
  • Reduce site exposure and secure critical equipment and building areas
  • Coordinate business continuity actions with suppliers and key stakeholders
  • Review key property insurance and business interruption considerations (limits, deductibles, reporting timelines)
  • Prepare documentation early to support property damage and business interruption claims

At Risk Consulting, we are here to support you with our team of seasoned engineers and claims specialists. We are committed to helping you prepare for typhoons and to expertly negotiate property damage and business interruption claims—so you can achieve the most favorable outcomes during this demanding season.
