Disaster Preparedness
Your business is your life – it’s part of who you are. You’ve planned for success, but have you planned for the “what ifs”? What if a natural catastrophe struck? What if a power outage caused you to lose inventory? What if a flood caused your doors to shut for a week?

I hope this preparedness/recovery information helps. When it comes to our property, what do we expect in case of loss (hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flood, fire, etc.)? The disaster itself is news. What happens after the dust settles is the story: the aftermath shock. Here is something disaster workers, authorities and the public should know: with a little curiosity you can mitigate that shock, even before it happens. Insurance policyholders, and more importantly disaster survivors, need to be informed of access to equality--basic rights and information. The internet reaches far more people than anyone would have ever imagined, though difficult to gather those willing to pause, to inspect, to further...to think on their own.
