Preparation Call for 2025 Hurricane Season: International SOS Urges Businesses to Act Promptly

International SOS, a global leader in security risk management, health, and well-being services, has unveiled a new digital learning portfolio focused on natural disasters. The portfolio consists of five interactive micro-learning modules designed to help employees prepare for various scenarios such as tropical storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and extreme heat.

In an increasingly unpredictable world, International SOS is committed to protecting and saving lives. The company responds immediately to safeguard businesses and their workforce in the event of a security incident, epidemic, extreme weather, or other business-disrupting events.

With over 9,000 organisations worldwide, including the majority of the Fortune Global 500, SMEs, governments, educational institutions, and NGOs, relying on their services, International SOS advises companies in at-risk regions to review, test, and communicate their emergency plans with their employees.

Julian Moro, Senior Vice President and Regional Security Director at International SOS, predicts that the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, which began on June 1, will be unusually active. He expects between 13 and 18 named storms, including up to five major hurricanes of category 3 or higher.

Meteorologists share similar concerns, warning of several severe hurricanes that are likely to hit both the United States and the Caribbean. In light of these predictions, International SOS urges companies to prepare for potential impacts to ensure employee safety and business continuity.

The digital learning portfolio offers practical guidelines to improve individual and organisational resilience. Employee training covers necessary supplies for evacuation or on-site accommodation, planning for business continuity and travel disruptions, evaluating safety options and transportation routes, defining clear evacuation criteria and communication channels, ensuring remote work capabilities, developing and testing pre-formulated messages for mass notifications, conducting crisis drills, clarifying roles and responsibilities, identifying optimization potential, providing psychosocial support after extreme weather events, and a new learning offering on disaster preparedness by International SOS.

International SOS, founded in 1985, has been saving lives for 40 years. With headquarters in London and Singapore and over 13,000 experts available at over 1,200 locations in 90 countries, the company is available 24/7, 365 days a year, in over 110 languages.

For more information, visit International SOS's German-language website at www.internationalsos.de. However, it should be noted that there are no available search results providing information on which companies International SOS has selected for particularly high risks during the 2025 hurricane season or the organisation's recommendations for their preparations.

The "Extreme Weather Report" from the International SOS Foundation also reveals that many companies have developed emergency plans, but often insufficiently consider the impact on employees. The report highlights the importance of comprehensive preparation and the role that organisations like International SOS play in ensuring the safety and well-being of their workforce.
