VIENNA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 1, 2026--

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260901556582/en/

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:

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.

MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Edouard headed toward the Gulf Coast early Tuesday and expected to gain strength before bringing potentially heavy rains and flooding into parts of Texas and Louisiana.

The storm was upgraded Monday night from a tropical depression and forecasters with the National Hurricane Center expect it will make landfall in Texas later on Tuesday.

Early Tuesday the storm was about 65 miles (100 kilometers) south-southeast of Cameron, Louisiana, and 90 miles (145 kilometers) southeast of Port Arthur, Texas, with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph) while moving west-northwest at 8 mph (13 kph).

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the biggest problem expected from the storm is flooding. Forecasters are anticipating 3-6 inches (7-15 centimeters) of rain in the greater Houston area, with some areas of the state’s upper coast getting up to 9 inches (22 centimeters). More than 4 inches (10 centimeters) per hour could fall and will likely cause flash flooding in low-lying and urban areas, according to the National Hurricane Center.

“This is our first big storm of the season, and I’ll tell you, Texas is prepared,” Orlando Alanis of the Texas Division of Emergency Management said during a news conference.

Crews worked Monday to clear dry vegetation that could ignite from a lightning strike and cause fast-spreading fires, Abbott said.

Meanwhile, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly brought rain and thunderstorms to parts of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the Turks & Caicos, and the Bahamas, the hurricane center said.

In the Pacific Ocean on Monday evening, Tropical Storm Lowell was about 630 miles (1,015 kilometers) southeast of Hilo, Hawaii, with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph) while moving west at 10 mph (17 kph). Forecasters said Lowell could rapidly intensify and become a major hurricane by Wednesday.

Also in the Pacific, Tropical Storm Marie formed early Tuesday well offshore of southwest Mexico and wasn’t threatening land, the center said. The storm was about 470 miles (756 kilometers) southwest of Manzanillo with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 kph) and was moving northwest. Marie was expected to become a hurricane in the coming days.

Elsewhere in the Pacific, Hurricane Karina became a hurricane Sunday, fueled by warm waters far from any shore, and strengthened Monday into a powerful Category 4 storm. But it did not threaten land, forecasters said.

On Tuesday morning, Karina remained a Category 4 hurricane and was centered 1,210 miles (1,950 kilometers) west-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula of Mexico with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (222 kph) while moving west-northwest at 10 mph (17 kph), the center said.

The story has been updated to correct that Dolly was a tropical storm, not a hurricane.
