7/4/2022 (Permalink)
Storm damage from thunderstorms, lightning, hail, flash floods, strong winds, etc. can be a huge problem for small businesses in Decatur. There could be water damage issues, mold remediation, reconstruction expenses, etc. There is always the cost of lost revenue when a business is forced to shut its doors since business continuity is crucial to any business. The Federal Emergency Management Agency estimates that more than 40 percent of businesses do not reopen after a disaster.
It is a good idea to unplug electronic devices to prevent power surges that can cause fires, especially if you do not have surge protection devices or ground systems in your office. Conduct drills with your staff so they know what to do in case of an emergency, and where to go during a storm.
