FM Global customizes its Global Resilience Index

JOHNSTON – FM Global has customized its Global Resilience Index for its clients, providing unique risk analysis for facilities and operations around the globe.

The 2017 FM Global Resilience Index, a tool that ranks business resiliency for nearly 130 countries, helps business owners better understand risk in different countries. The tool was originally created a couple years ago, but the Johnston-based global insurer has developed it further to help its individual customers.

“It’s critical to understand the risk quality of your operations and whether the countries you’re located in can bounce back from disasters,” said Bret Ahnell, executive vice president at FM Global.

The tool analyzes risk data in different countries, looking at such issues as fire and natural risk quality, exposure to natural hazards, emergency planning and rebuild time. It combines external economic, cyber risk and supply-chain figures.
