Everbridge and Arcadis partner to launch climate risk assessment for organisations

Everbridge, a provider of critical event management solutions, has partnered with Arcadis, a global design and engineering consultancy, to help organisations assess and manage climate-related risks. The companies are launching a Climate Risk Assessment tool that combines Arcadis's climate risk expertise with Everbridge's operational resilience capabilities. The assessment helps organisations identify climate vulnerabilities across their facilities and supply chains, evaluate potential impacts, and prioritise resilience measures. It analyses multiple climate hazards including flooding, heat, wind, and sea-level rise using Arcadis's Nexus platform. Assessment data can be integrated into Everbridge's platform, allowing organisations to visualise climate risks alongside operational information. The partnership aims to help companies move from climate risk awareness to actionable planning and adaptation strategies.

Everbridge and Arcadis partner to help organizations assess and manage Climate Risk.

Everbridge and Arcadis partner to help organizations assess and manage Climate Risk. Strategic partnership combines climate risk expertise, adaptation planning, and operational resilience capabilities to help organizations reduce climate-related risk VIENNA, Va.-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Everbridge, the global leader in High Velocity Critical Event Management (CEM) and national public warning solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Arcadis, a global leader in design, engineering, and consultancy solutions. Together, the companies will help organizations better assess, manage, and reduce climate-related risks across their operations, facilities, and supply chains. The partnership combines Arcadis' expertise in climate risk, resilience strategy, adaptation planning, and engineering with Everbridge capabilities in critical event management, operational resilience, and risk intelligence. As an initial offering under the partnership, the companies are launching a Climate Risk Assessment (CRA) designed to help organizations better understand climate-related vulnerabilities, quantify potential impacts, and prioritize actions to strengthen resilience. Climate-related disruptions are becoming more frequent, costly, and interconnected. Yet many organizations still lack a clear understanding of how physical climate risks could affect critical facilities, operations, and business continuity plans. The Climate Risk Assessment addresses this challenge by combining multi-hazard climate data with asset and operational context to provide actionable insights for decision-makers. Everbridge and Arcadis are also exploring additional solutions spanning climate adaptation, advanced analytics, operational response planning, and risk transfer strategies to help organizations better anticipate and manage climate-related threats. "Organizations cannot prepare for risks they do not fully understand," said Dominic Jones, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Everbridge. "By partnering with Arcadis, we are helping customers move beyond awareness to action. Together, we can provide a clearer picture of climate-related risks and help organizations take practical steps to strengthen resilience before disruptions occur." The Climate Risk Assessment helps organizations: * Identify locations where climate risks are most significant across their portfolio * Understand how climate hazards may translate into operational disruption and asset damage * Evaluate future and worst-case scenarios to support planning and investment decisions * Prioritize adaptation measures and resilience initiatives based on quantified risk Through the partnership, customers will be able to leverage Arcadis' climate risk, resilience, and adaptation expertise together with its Nexus platform to assess exposure across multiple climate hazards, including flooding, heat, wind, cold, and sea-level rise. By combining climate intelligence with asset and operational context, organizations can better prioritize resilience and adaptation measures. Assessment data can also be integrated into the Everbridge platform, helping organizations visualize climate risks alongside operational, geographic, and critical event information for more informed decision making before, during, and after disruptive events. "Climate resilience requires more than understanding future hazards, particularly as it's becoming a boardroom discussion driving a competitive advantage. Organizations need to know which assets are most at risk, what the potential impacts could be, and where to focus investment," said George Longfoot, Global Director of Climate Technology at Arcadis. "By bringing together Arcadis' climate risk expertise and Everbridge resilience capabilities, we're giving clients a practical path from risk assessment to action." The partnership establishes a foundation for broader collaboration between the companies across climate adaptation, operational resilience, and risk management. Organizations can learn more about regional climate threats and practical preparedness strategies through two Everbridge webinars featuring Arcadis, now available on demand: Europe's Weather Risk Outlook and From Typhoons to Heat Stress.
