Tips For Hurricane Season & Emergency Power: How to Prepare Your Business Now
Here in South Florida, we know with certainty that hurricane season is a question of “when” and “how extreme,” but never of “if.” When these storm systems come through in summer and fall, disruption of business operations is a true risk. Here are tips for preparing your business for hurricane season now.
Install a Commercial Generator
At Megawattage, we provide emergency power solutions for South Florida with our commercial generator rentals. Having a backup generator at your disposal when storms hit will help you avoid losing power for precious hours, let alone days on end.
We offer commercial generators specifically as emergency power solutions for South Florida. You can even reserve your system now and we will store the equipment until you need it, then come install it at your location when a storm is approaching.
Stock Up On Supplies
In the days and weeks before and following a significant storm, supplies can be in short demand. Ahead of the season, be sure to stock up on vital supplies to keep your business running.
Supplies may look like extra water, paper goods or even medical supplies depending on your business needs. They also look like items that can help protect from storms such as sandbags, extra lumber and beyond.
Secure Your Property
If a hurricane is approaching, you will want to physically safeguard your business as well.
Elevate any critical components, such as files, expensive equipment, electronics, and more that could incur water damage in case of flooding.
Check now to ensure you have impact-resistant windows installed and that your roofing is in good shape and ready to withstand strong storm systems. There’s time now to make adjustments ahead of the season and prevent any unnecessary damage.
We hope these tips help you get ahead of hurricane season, because when it comes to South Florida storms, preparation is your business’s best defense.
