Question:

Discuss how forces of nature, force majeure, or acts of God pose some of the most dangerous threats, because they are unexpected and can occur with little warning.
Emphasize that pandemics, such as the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak, are considered a force of nature even though most things remained operational.
Explain that these threats can disrupt not only the lives of individuals but also the storage, transmission, and use of information. Since it is not possible to avoid many of these threats, management must implement controls to limit damage and prepare contingency plans for continued operations.

Outline the 11 forces of nature that are outlined in the text. They are the following:
Fires
Floods
Earthquakes
Lightning
Landslides or mudslides
Tornados or severe windstorms
Hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical depressions
Tsunamis
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Dust contamination
Solar activity
