Recommendations to follow when preparing your workplace for hurricane preparedness:
1. Make multiple backups of critical computer data and store them off premises. Keep checks, purchase orders, financial records, property and vehicle titles off the premises as well.
2. Unplug and wrap all electronics in plastic and store in high and dry places.
3. Have a communications plan in place and make sure all employees’ emergency contact information is current.
4. Take “before” and “after” pictures to aid in any insurance claims.
5. Allow employees adequate time to prepare for the approaching storm.
