Help with Severe Weather Planning

Sections of this topic

    Hurricane season is on the way, and tragically many businesses will be caught under-prepared. In 2012 severe weather caused more than $100 billion in damaged within the U.S. alone, and a failure to plan and prepare can mean a big storm takes your business out for good. There are enough unpredictable crises in the world, there’s no excuse to not plan for events that can be expected to impact you.

    To help, our friends at MissionMode have published a whitepaper on severe weather planning that includes tips on planning, preparedness, and resiliency:

    This white paper is a guide to planning and implementing your weather response, and it’s much more than a simple checklist. Resiliency is the ability to withstand and ‘bounce back’ from an emergency event. The white paper helps you to think through the processes that will result in a successful response to a weather threat. Your business and people will then be truly prepared and resilient.
