How Do You Prepare A Company For A Natural Disaster?
A natural disaster can strike at any time. Usually natural disasters are predictable, like hurricane season in Florida, tornado season in the Midwest, and to some extent, earthquakes in California. You know they are coming so prepare your company for them as best you can. Find out what types of natural disasters can happen in your area. Contact your local chapter of Red Cross or Homeland Security for this information. Look to the news for recent disasters in the last several years. Ask your insurance agent what types of disasters your policy covers. Consider increasing your coverage if weather disasters in recent years have been on the rise. Have an emergency plan. An emergency plan is for the protection of the employees. Designate safety coordinators for each shift, instruct employees on what to do in case of disaster and conduct a trial run of a disaster evacuation. Have a plan to stay in business.
