Operator Series: Natural Disaster Preparedness and Recovery: Insights from a Survivor

Natural disasters can hit anytime, anywhere and you should have a plan in place directing what to do in advance, during and after the event. Join us for a webinar with Sheldon Suga, Hawks Cay’s Vice President and Managing Director as he shares firsthand experiences of disaster preparedness and recovery. Hawks Cay, a 60-acre luxury resort and marina in the Florida Keys, was razed to the ground by category 5 Hurricne Irma in 2017. Sheldon will share the details on their original preparedness plan, what worked (and didn’t!), and all the key considerations businesses should consider when recovering from a disaster. Sheldon will also share some surprising lessons learned when your operation is in the path of a devastating weather event.
