Plan and Practice to Mitigate Hurricane Damage
One of the most effective ways for a business to prepare for a hurricane is to develop a safety plan and practice it routinely. Creating a safety plan can help businesses diffuse the impact a hurricane can have and lessen the amount of time a business stays closed after it passes. This plan will vary from business to business but should focus on the necessary steps needed to ensure the operation is not crippled by the hurricane. The plan may include:
- Boarding up storefront windows
- Securing any items outdoors
- Turning off the building’s power
- Remembering to back up critical data
- Implementing remote work setups
Once a plan has been set in place, business owners and store managers should regularly practice it with their employees. Having gone through the motions first and practiced the plan, employees will feel more condiment that they know what to do should a storm be approaching.
Establish a Remote Business Model
The inability to access your place of business is a likely problem during hurricane-like conditions. Roads may be closed or flooded, leaving no way for employees to get to your facility. Businesses can prepare for this by developing a method to operate if conditions become severe, causing an emergency evacuation. Many businesses can operate without needing to be on-site.
