You’ve done ALL the things you need to do to prepare your business for winter weather:
- Gotten rid of the leaves on the property and the roof
- Cleared all drains to reduce possibilities of leaks
- Arranged for snow plowing services for parking areas
- Secured a snow thrower or shovels and a cache of ice melt to clear the sidewalks
- Shut off all the outdoor faucets so no pipes freeze
- Ensured that your fire system anti-freeze loops are serviced
- Placed tall identifying markers adjacent to fire hydrants
- Adjusted light timers inside and out to account for shorter daylight hours
BUT…have you done these things?
- Planned for how staff will operate if access to the building is unavailable or if the power is out
- Tested your remote access to your servers, data and email in advance
- Made sure your servers are off the floor and secure
- Ensured you have quality surge protectors with uninterruptible power supply batteries in place
- Backed up all your data and made it available for your use remotely
- Prepared a disaster recovery and/or business continuity plan and shared the appropriate pieces of the plan with your staff?
