Today marks the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, an observance with direct relevance to our industry and our workforce.
The data underscores why preparedness matters: the United States recorded 12 billion-dollar weather disasters in the first half of 2026 alone, resulting in at least 183 lives lost. Since 1980, the nation has experienced 438 such events — a frequency that has grown from roughly three per year in the 1980s to more than twenty in recent years.
For Qcells EPC, whose teams work outdoors on utility-scale projects across the country, disaster risk reduction is not an annual observance. It is embedded in our daily operations.
This , the official 2026 theme is "Resilience Starts at Home," serving as a powerful reminder that disaster resilience is built long before a hazard strikes.
