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?

This time last year, we were all recovering from the effects of Hurricane Irene.  Fortunately, Hurricane Isaac didn’t have the same impact.  Winter storms are ahead of us.  September is National Disaster Preparedness Month.  The threat of fire, flood, severe storms, water damage from office sprinklers—and even theft—is very real.
