As we have seen in the last week, Florida gets its fair share of rain storms, floods and of course, hurricanes. Those who have lived in Florida are well versed in preparing their homes and families to be safe during the storms, however, preparing your personal life is not the only element to being truly prepared. An often overlooked segment is the workplace. Making sure your business is prepared and safe is also a crucial step in hurricane preparedness.
In addition to protecting your business property, buildings and vehicles, it is imperative to remember to also protect important documents and information.
It is also important to remember to seal documents and files in waterproof containers, in case of any damage to the building or water leaks.
Keeping a preparedness checklist is vital. Having emergency supplies at your business is important should a disaster strike during regular work hours and employees are unable to leave. Keeping an employee contact list so you can check on the well-being of your staff and their families is equally important.
