Russia launched one of its largest attacks on Ukraine on Wednesday, firing dozens of missiles and drones across several parts of the country.

Ukrainian officials said at least 20 people were killed, including children, while around 50 others were injured. A residential building in Pryluky was among the worst hit.

The attacks also damaged energy infrastructure and caused emergency power cuts in several regions.

Ukraine’s air force said it intercepted more than 80 percent of the jet powered drones used in the attack, although ballistic missiles remained a major challenge.

For families in affected areas, the damage goes far beyond buildings. Power cuts can affect hospitals, businesses, schools, transport and communication.

When critical infrastructure is damaged, ordinary activities can become difficult almost immediately.

The economic impact can also be significant. Businesses need electricity, transportation and communication networks to operate.

When any of these systems are disrupted, companies can lose working hours, damage equipment, delay deliveries and struggle to serve customers.

This is why businesses need to think about continuity before a crisis happens.

A company should know what it will do if electricity fails, a supplier cannot deliver, an important employee becomes unavailable or a major digital system stops working.

Simple preparation can make a difference. Businesses can keep important information backed up, maintain alternative suppliers where possible and create clear procedures for emergencies.
