Republic Voice and Data Will Assist Your Company with Business Connectivity Concerns

Protect your business:  
Businesses need to have a plan to protect their property, their data, and their employees during Hurricane Season, which runs from June 1 through Nov. 30.

Following is a list of reminders to help businesses prepare for severe weather, to operate in the aftermath and to recover from any damages.

Before a storm hits:

• Know the best way to contact your employees.
• Establish a mass notification system so you can notify and get in touch with employees quickly and easily.
• Protect your business assets. (Take steps to protect your equipment, supplies, products, networks, data and so on. Cover your property and raise it above floor level, when possible.)
• Identify how you will protect important business documents and inventory that is vulnerable to water damage.
• Have an emergency business plan that enables operations with various employees at different locations.
• Backup your data offsite and consider using Cloud based systems. This should include payroll and other systems.
• Keep employees and customers aware of your plan.
• Identify a list of available post-disaster resources that you may need to call upon if you need help in reopening your business or obtaining emergency funding to repair damaged property.
• Be sure you know the address of all of your buildings, including storage facilities.
• Be sure you have an evacuation plan for each facility.
• Use sandbags to prevent flooding at all entrances.
