Risk Theme 3 C 4

The project is now at the end of Stage 2. The project manager has heard about a hurricane
in America and the weather forecasters have suggested that this might cause a period of
torrential rain which will hit the UK soon. There is a threat that torrential rain may cause
localised flooding on the site during the excavation of the foundations which will cause
delays to the construction of up to 4 weeks.

PPL have an operational manager (Sandy) who watches the weather forecasts as weather
affects visitor numbers.
