If a winter storm should strike, do you have safeguards in place to protect your business? Preparing your business for both short and long-term interruptions is important. Additionally, business owners should consider having an action or communications plan for their employees.
What can a business do? Assign a leader and get these thing done for the sake of continuing your business after the storms, and for the safety of your employees and visitors:
Before the Storm
Check your insurance coverage protection against winter hazards;
Develop a procedure for restoring electrical services on an item-by-item basis; and
Develop a procedure for relocating salvageable and undamaged stock and supplies.
Have emergency supplies on hand to care for your group for 72 hours or longer
During the Storm
Keep driveways, walkways, and doorways clear of snow and ice;
Open water faucets to let them drip to keep water flowing through the pipes vulnerable to freezing; and
Have the names and phone numbers of your heating contractor, plumber, fire department, insurance agent, and building owner accessible.
