Chapter 13: Mitigation and Preparedness
During your business impact analysis, you identify that one of your office buildings next to a small river is located about five miles below an earthen dam that was constructed about one hundred years ago and recent geological reports indicate a degree of weakening. Your company owns the building and sub-leases 100,000 square feet at $2.25 per square foot. Your company occupies 85,000 square feet. The value of your equipment located in the building is $4,250,000 and the combined salaries total about $7,650,000. Revenue produced last year for this facility was $20,000,000. New building construction averages about 6 months to complete at a cost of $5.50 per square foot.
