Preparing Your Business For Hurricane Season

6/9/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Cecil County is prepared for any storm damage that may occur in our Elkton and local area during this hurricane season.  With the season officially here, it is critical to be prepared for what the bad weather can bring to your home or business.  Having a plan in place for you and your employees is essential in the event of an emergency for proper safety protocol as well as actions to take when the storm is over.

In the event of severe weather due to a hurricane, please remember to create and share a plan with all employees and ensure they are aware of the proper steps to take.  Often, businesses hire an inspector who can identify any issues or structural damage that can significantly impact a facility in the event of a large storm.  Issues such as roof leaks, loose gutters, and broken pipes can all lead to severe water damage and should be fixed immediately.  An inspector can also ensure that all windows and doors are sealed tightly and safe for strong winds.

Once your business is declared safe and any structural damage has been repaired, be sure to remove any outdoor safety hazards such as yard signs.  Continue to listen for weather alerts in your local area and decide on a plan that is best for you and your staff.
