FOS has 8,000 subcontractors/trades across Canada. Large Loss Team will be assigned to priority damaged properties and PREP locations. (BJCC sites that FOS project managers have toured and recorded property data i.e. floor drains, shut off valves, S/R, security, etc.) FOS branches across Canada supply equipment sent by transport truck to Mississauga office for deployment.

17 Risk Mitigation Part 3 Mitigating the Risk 2013 Brookfield Johnson Controls January 30,

18 MITIGATION BY THE NUMBERS Studies show every $1 spent on disaster mitigation saves $4 in community disaster recovery expenses. (PropertyCasualty360) Forty percent of businesses do not reopen after a disaster and another 25 percent fail within one year according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Up to 40% of businesses affected by a natural or human-caused disaster never reopen. (Source: Insurance Information Institute) According to the US-based Strategic Research Institute, Companies that aren t able to resume operations within 10 days of a disaster are not likely to survive. 24% of companies said they have experienced a full data disaster (Forrester) Average cost of downtime for a midsize company is $70,000 per hour (Gartner) In the past two years, Over 50 percent of businesses experienced an unforeseen interruption, and the vast majority (81%) of these interruptions caused the business to be closed one or more days. 1 (2009 Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Survey) 80 percent of businesses suffering a major disaster go out of business in three years, while 40 percent of businesses that experience a critical IT failure go out of business within one year. In the case of suffering a fire, 44 percent of enterprises fail to reopen and 33 percent of these failed to survive beyond 3 years. ( Hidden Threats to Enterprise)

22 Team Member Impacts Outside Impacts Securing Temporary Accommodation Family Obligations Community Social Responsibility Fatigue Mitigation Cross Regional Support Virtual EOC Establishing Rotational Shifts EAP Services 2013 Brookfield Johnson Controls January 30,

23 Recovery Competition for Resources Construction Materials Pumper Trucks General Contractors Remediation Specialists Temporary Space Construction Site Amenities 2013 Brookfield Johnson Controls January 30,

24 FirstOnSite Crisis Response Considerations - Mould only needs hours to grow causing significant health hazard - Consider emergency access in disaster areas (red zone) during crisis events / structural engineers will be afforded access into secured area. - Your service provider should be prepared to provide Safety training and certification on the ground if required for non-certified or out of province workers. - Your service provider should provide an emergency assessment team to provide early assessment of damage on the ground and coordinate response efforts with your own resources (as FOS does for BJCC) - Completion of an Initial Site Report (ISR) to start the claims process - Prioritize the Work

25 FirstOnSite Crisis Response Considerations Select a partner with the capacity and ability to meet your needs. FOS mobilized 800 personnel for Calgary floods / Slave Lake mobilized 200 personnel, and constructed a 10 acre dedicated command center. Rapid Mobilization of Catastrophe & Large Loss teams Rapid mobilization of capacity personnel and equipment Mobilization of specialized support teams: H&S, Admin & Reporting, Command team PREP clients get Priority Response Alberta Flooding, 2013 Vancouver Riots 2011 Goderich Tornado, 2011 Slave Lake Fire, 2011
