The 2020 hurricane season is here. Preparation is the smartest way to ensure business continuity and protect employees during hurricane season.

Building an early plan of action helps businesses craft emergency hurricane communications ahead of time, map out their evacuation routes, and brace for impact. Developing a plan well before a storm arrives also gives employers and their people much-needed peace of mind.

While a business can’t control where a storm hits or how damaging it will be, early planning is essential to minimizing the impact. This video will help your business protect your organization and people if a hurricane makes landfall in your area.

1. ASSESS WHAT MATTERS MOST
The best place to start: look closely at what keeps your business up and running and what factors are relevant in dealing with a hurricane. Chances are it’s your people, your assets, and your location.

Take action early to protect these key elements, maintain order, and rebound quickly after a storm passes through.

2. BUILD YOUR EMERGENCY PLAN
In the panic of an approaching storm, it’s human nature to lose focus. Having an explicit emergency plan in place is crucial to minimizing the confusion surrounding a hurricane.

Your plan should be flexible to account for inevitable changes in people, assets, and locations. It should incorporate basic infrastructure elements that are unlikely to change even as your business evolves over time.

3. CREATE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS
When it comes to protecting your people, assets, and locations—it takes a village.

Once you have your plan in place, it’s time to delegate and practice. Don’t forget: an emergency plan is only as good as the people following it. Everyone must have a thorough understanding of what to do in any given scenario if it’s going to work.

Hurricanes will happen. The good news: You now have a solid framework in place to prepare your business for a violent storm. Weather experts can forecast hurricanes days in advance, and businesses should use that insight to their benefit. Follow the guidelines above and help your business weather the storm.
