According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, as many as one in four businesses that suffer some kind of major disaster do not reopen afterward. According to the National Fire Prevention Association, U.S. fire departments responded to about 3,300 office property fires per year between 2007 and 2015. Those fires resulted in about $112 million in property damage each year, and most were in business offices.

The NFPA also has statistics specific to manufacturing facilities. According to their research, there are about 37,000 fires at industrial or manufacturing facilities each year, resulting in 18 deaths, 279 injuries, and $1 billion in property damage. Heating equipment and stop tools were the leading cause sparking 28 percent of the fires. Mechanical failure or malfunction caused 24 percent of the fires.

Floods are the #1 natural disaster in the United States. Every business in every state is at risk of water damage from floods.  In the past 3 years all 50 states have experienced flash flooding causing damage to businesses as well as homes.
