If your business is in an area that is hit by hurricanes, tornadoes, or floods, you’ll need to think about plans to protect your business from disaster before it hits. The impact of natural disasters can be devastating for businesses. The Institute for Business and Home Safety estimates that approximately 25% of small businesses don’t reopen their doors after a natural disaster. Planning ahead for a disaster is the best way to ensure that your business isn’t in that 25 percent.
