Unpredictability of Mother Nature and the Effects on Commercial Property

We all know Mother Nature is fickle and unpredictable.  She can span many different natural disasters from tornadoes to flooding and hail damage.  Unfortunately, disasters can seriously impact your business.  Not only can they damage the property and equipment, but they can prevent employees from getting to work.

There are things you can do, as a business owner, to protect your company and be prepared for the inevitable and lower your risk.  Review these tips for preparation, precautions, and risk reduction:

• Invest and review business insurance
• Backup your company files and store them in a safe, off-site location.
• Anchor and secure large heavy equipment and cabinets.
• Use fire-resistant building materials.
• Keep a fire extinguisher on every floor for ease of access during an emergency. In the event of a fire, a quickly assessed fire extinguisher can stop it from becoming more dangerous.
• Reinforce doors and windows to protect against strong forces, such as wind and hail.
• Have an emergency kit on hand. Complete with a first aid, non-perishable food, water, and flashlight. An emergency preparedness kit can make a huge difference in keeping the office staff safe.
• Develop and implement an emergency plan and make sure employees know how to respond in the event of an emergency.
