Winter Storm and Extreme Weather Preparedness
November 7, 2016
According to an AccuWeather report, dry and mild weather is 
forecasted for the southern half of the nation with an exception for the Southeast as they can expect a chilly January with threats of damage to the region’s citrus crop. Frequent storms are expected to bring above-normal snowfall to the northeast and an extended winter is predicted for the northern Plains to the eastern U.S. with cold and snowy conditions well into the spring of 2017.
Winter storms can be devastating, causing those affected to lose their business, inventory, and property. It is wise to be as prepared as possible in the event a winter storm threatens your business, your employees and your customers.
There is much you can do ahead of time to minimize the loss your business or home may sustain in the event of a winter storm. First you must have an emergency plan in place. Use the checklists below to help you get started or to supplement your existing emergency plan.
