 Excellent police and fire protection are important considerations for businesses when making expansion or relocation decisions.  

And, most large communities like Butler County and the Cincinnati – Dayton region have first-rate law enforcement and firefighting capabilities.

An import, yet subtle concern businesses need to deal with are climate and weather patterns in regions under consideration that could negatively affect your facility’s operations or getting your goods or services to market. 

Naturally occurring threats such as earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes, and wildfires and the areas of the country most susceptible to them must be included in your decision and risk management matrix because when they occur—natural disasters cost you money and sometimes much more.

Your due diligence site research must include any increased risk in locating to areas prone to weather disruptions and other natural occurrences. 

As the National Weather Service maps on this page illustrate, Ohio is a state with a very low risk profile for naturally occurring hardships due to weather conditions.

While your risk management advisors can quantify the financial costs of an operating disruption, the best way to eliminate the possibility is to locate in a region with very low exposure and risk from weather disturbances and other natural occurrences. 

The best emergency preparedness is emergency avoidance and Ohio is located in a part of the country insulated, for the most part, from business disruptions resulting from adverse weather conditions.
