Motivation: Hurricane Scenario

Studies show that ~40% of companies failed within 36
months when they were closed for 3 or more days as a
result of a hurricane

Our analysis shows that, if the BCIN network helped 5%
of the companies in South Florida to speed up their
hurricane recovery by one week, it would prevent $220M
of non-property economic losses which would result from
that week's closure.
