It\u2019s vital to ensure your business is prepared, should disaster strike. A natural disaster can greatly damage your bottom line and some organizations simply never recover.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that you\u2019re able to reopen your doors after any catastrophe by doing some prep work. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/info.agilityrecovery.com\/l\/287622\/2017-01-24\/ynb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Agility Recovery<\/a>, the largest threat to businesses is high winds that come along with storms during the hurricane season. The vendor provided a checklist for enterprises and employees to make sure professionals have an understanding of what to do to get ready\u00a0for hurricane season and during an actual storm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Before the storm:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Listen to forecasts and make sure you\u2019re aware of a storm\u2019s progress if it&#8217;s heading to your area.<\/li>\n<li>Learn safe evacuation routes, plus alternative routes.<\/li>\n<li>Review your shelter-in-place plan and ensure that your disaster kit is fully stocked.<\/li>\n<li>Define an emergency communication plan and test it.<\/li>\n<li>Backup all data on servers and personal computers; be sure to take backup tapes during an evacuation.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure non-critical devices and equipment are off.<\/li>\n<li>Check the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and move it to the highest spot possible above ground.<\/li>\n<li>Check and repair gutters and drains; install windstorm shutters over windows and doors.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure roof equipment, portable buildings, outdoor signs and heavy equipment are secure.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Let a third party in on your relocation plans.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure that your vital records are in a safe place.<\/li>\n<li>Secure storage of anything flammable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>During the storm:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you are able, patrol your property continuously to watch for leaks in the roof, broken pipes, structural damage or a fire.<\/li>\n<li>Staff should be directed to a place that is safe from strong winds and flooding if employees are at work throughout the storm.<\/li>\n<li>Continuously monitor any equipment that must remain on line.<\/li>\n<li>If you lose power, turn off electrical switches to prevent reactivation before necessary checks are completed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>After the Storm:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>After an area is declared safe, tour and secure the site.<\/li>\n<li>Check for live wires, leaking gas, flammable liquids and damage to the foundation.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure safety systems are implemented and notify contractors if repairs are necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you follow this checklist, your business should be able to recover after a storm and quickly.
