Storms can have serious consequences for a business, especially in terms of employee safety and business continuity. It is therefore important to have contingency plans in place to deal with these harsh weather conditions.

Remarks

Here are some things to consider when setting up your emergency plan:

• Employee safety: make sure employees are informed of the risks associated with the storm and have access to safe shelters if needed.
• Continuity of operations: provide transportation for employees to get to their workplaces during severe weather conditions. If this is not possible, implement teleworking solutions to allow employees to work remotely.
• Communication: ensure that employees are informed of the situation and the measures taken to deal with the storm.

Asset protection: protect company assets from storm damage. This may include putting covers in place to protect sensitive equipment or installing weather protection.

By having an adequate contingency plan in place, your business will be better prepared to deal with the consequences of the storm, and to ensure the safety and continuity of its operations.
