  In fact, the blizzard that swept across the Northeast on Jan. 26, 2015, dubbed Winter Storm Juno, was responsible for “creating havoc for more than 60 million people and forcing New York City to shut down on a scale not seen since Superstorm Sandy devastated the region in 2012,” according to Reuters. One of the most publicized aspects of the city’s preparations for Juno was the mass-transit shutdown, after which the economy lost an estimated $200 million.
  
  After the transit system was closed, businesses whose employees and customers rely on public transportation to make it to work were faced with the possibility of revenue loss and decline of workforce productivity. This event serves as an important reminder for businesses to evaluate how they can achieve business continuity when extreme winter weather renders their primary facilities inaccessible.
