According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), conditions are ripe for a stressful Atlantic hurricane season. For businesses, many of which are still dealing with the ramifications of the ongoing pandemic, an active hurricane season could prove to be quite a challenge. 

The good news is that hurricanes are foreseeable events, and organizations can take several proactive steps to prepare. But with many retailers still experiences shortages of essential items, a wait-and-see attitude is out of the question. Follow this outline to get ready to face another enhanced hurricane season.

  • Back up your data.
  • Relocate important data and documents to an off-site location.
  • Relocate or secure valuable office equipment. 
  • Remove all branches or trees close enough to your building to pose a threat.
  • Test your generators.
  • Stock up on three days of non-perishable food and water for all employees that need to remain on-site.
  • Make sure you have enough cleaning supplies and necessary hand tools.  
  • Check your battery and flashlight supply.  
  • Have extra propane and gasoline containers on hand.  
  • Locate cash, ATM cards, credit cards, and ID cards.
  • Review your security plan.
