Being a Florida insurance agent I am constantly advising clients on how to
prepare for a natural disaster. In Florida we have experienced tornadoes and
hurricanes. I recommend these steps to business and homeowners: take pictures
- lots of them to show the damage and also take pictures before the disaster
strikes. Record all items that have been damaged or destroyed and along with
your photos submit a claim to your insurance company. I also recommend seeing
what state funding may be available to disaster victims along with what
government aid may be available after the disaster. In watching destruction
after hurricanes over the years once the government actually reviews the
damage more funding may be distributed to states. As for an emergency plan I
recommend the following: 1) meet with your insurance agency now to assess
your coverage and review what is covered and what is not 2) have your
buildings inspected along with your property to assess where repairs may be
needed now as a preventative maintenance type of thing should you have a
strong storm. A tornado you can't do too much about other than to take
inventory of what you have prior to but a hurricane you can take preventative
measures prior too. I have most experience with hurricanes and tornadoes. I
also recommend getting generators for a business so in the event the power
goes out business can continue running and one is not totally shut down, as
it could take weeks for power to be restored.

all depend about business, but to get huge business, we just need to get
quality and great service

Here’s my to-do list to prepare for any future storms

* Buy a Generator
* Look into backup internet service
* Checked with your local council and become familiar with your community
disaster plan
* Identified the local information channels and processes for alerts and
updates on natural disaster.
* Compiled a list of current emergency phone numbers, including numbers for
your local police, fire, ambulance, State Emergency Service, local council,
gas and electricity companies, and staff contacts.
* Packed laptop and mobile phone(s) with spare batteries and car chargers.
* Consulted with staff about the situation.
* Ensured enough stock is on hand to supply your business and/or customers in
the critical period after the event
* Identified where equipment and vehicles will be relocated or put in place
procedures to protect it
* Kept enough spare parts on site to ensure your equipment is operational for
some weeks after the natural disaster has past
* Cleared your property of any loose items that could become missiles during
extreme winds (e.g. sheet iron or wood)
* Treated windows to minimize damage from flying debris (e.g. taped windows
or fitted them with metal screens or shutters)
* Understood your data and identified what data in your business is
important? (Data for processing orders and customer records would be
considered high importance.)

I hope keeping all these things in mind. You will be ready for any natural
disaster.

We are an Australian based fitness and activewear clothing retailer, but we
get our garments manufactured in Brazil. Recently there has been major
flooding and natural disasters in Brazil. Our factory was not affected, but
the transport of our goods was impossible, which meant that we could not get
our activewear to our customers.

We wanted to make sure that any inconvenience to our customers was minimized,
so we tried to communicate to them everything that was going in so that no
one was left in the dark. We used social media, and our official website so
that everyone knew the timeframes that we were working on.

In the big scheme of things there is often times not much that you can do
except minimize the harm. Insurance and good communication are essential.

in early 2009, I started to build my career especially in the online world to
build a website to scrounge benefits associated with the review. I do not
understand my career it will run smoothly as it is today, as it was when I
was going through it filled with doubt, on the basis of a strong conviction
to succeed then I ventured to try it seriously. and its outcomes now I feel.

to be honest though I'm not a real netter, but a conviction prompted me to
act. and I think that is the key principal in running an activity.

So if you find it difficult to deal with the problem then face it with a
smile, of course, you also have to ask the people who are already
experienced.

To cope with a disaster in business, I just do my best days I mainly far I've
set up a replacement for the possibilities that may happen because in this
world there is definitely its profit and loss. good job

We do the very best we can to notify our customers of anticipated closings,
usually due to hurricanes.

We notify customers via our blogs in advance of evacuating, and also post
once we've reopened. All of our blog posts are syndicated throughout social
media so as to reach as large an audience of our customer base as is
possible.

For example, see the following blog notifying customers of our protocols for
Hurricane Isaac:

According to me ,the best thing we can do is, dont have so much of things in
store, because it takes lots of money and space to keep all the stored
things,so we can have less stocks to store,so that if disaster occurs then
the loss will be less.

It's good to make a plan for emergency situations and react in a crisis
solutions. Surely a natural disaster can surprise you and catch you off guard
but it's better to be prepared.

No insurance plan here only because my business is online so if my computer
gets destroyed the I can just set up shop on a new computer.
