According to leading forecasters, the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be the most active since 2012. The Weather Channel predicts a total of 15 named storms, nine hurricanes and four major hurricanes for the season, which runs from June 1 through November 30. The best offense against a hurricane is a sound emergency plan for both your home and office. We often talk about preparing our homes for such storms, but what about our offices and commercial properties?
A major hurricane can have an immediate impact on the local economy, so it is imperative that area businesses are up and running as soon as possible to mitigate this impact. Here are some tips on how you can work with your property management firm (such as Coldwell Banker Commercial SunCoast) to prepare your business and commercial space against the potential hazards of a hurricane or tropical storm.
Plan Early and Often
Preparing commercial office buildings, warehouses and shopping centers for storms is a year-round process. Planning with your property management firm should begin in January of each year, months before the threat of a hurricane is imminent. Here are some things to put on your to-do list:
