Of course, we all hope that your business never has to experience a major storm or natural disaster, but at the end of the day, no one can be sure when or where a big storm will strike. For that reason, it makes sense to prepare your business to withstand a disaster now—especially in areas where certain types of storms are more likely to strike.
Hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and tornadoes can all cause unimaginable damage to a business, leading to a long and difficult recovery process. It's not uncommon for businesses to face issues like lost or damaged property, slow or stopped business, and even injured employees. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), 40 percent of small businesses never reopen their doors after a disaster.
However, having a recovery plan can make all the difference—and that starts with choosing the right supplies. As a small business owner, you can get back on your feet quicker after a major storm with the proper equipment and strategies. That's why we've compiled this Ultimate Storm Recovery Checklist, featuring a number of important storm recovery products that can all be found at Zoro.com.
The consequences of a storm or disaster can be difficult to imagine, and while we hope you're never faced with such a recovery process, it's always a good idea to have a plan in place. Given the number of businesses that are unable to recover and reopen after storms or disasters, it's especially critical to develop a plan before something happens—and that begins with finding the right equipment to rebuild and move forward. Start the process today by reviewing our checklist and ordering any supplies you may need from Zoro.
