Major losses can have myriad impacts beyond the specific financial impact associated with the event. Major losses can adversely impact a company's share price, brand / reputation, customer / supplier relationships, competitive position, employee morale, etc. Given the array of challenges a company faces when it experiences a major loss, it is imperative that the response is fast and proactive, and serves to contain the range and severity of the impacts to the extent possible.
