Advice for Business Owners Dealing With a Natural Disaster

These tips can help you thrive after a natural disaster:

Have a plan in place before you need it. This step is key, and it’s something you need to do before you need a disaster plan. Think about how you can keep serving your customers if your business is damaged. For example, you may want to consider moving your business to a backup location, if that’s an option for you.

Be prepared to work closely with your insurer. Take plenty of pictures of the damage before you begin the cleanup process. If your insurance company asks for documents or information, provide it as quickly as possible so the process will keep moving.

Stay in touch with the people you depend on. Reach out to your suppliers, employees, customers and wider community. Social media and email marketing lists can make this step easier.

Prioritize your physician and mental health. Dealing with a disaster is stressful. You can help yourself deal with the stress by eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of sleep and talking with people you trust about how you’re feeling.

Be a resource for your valued employees. Your employees will also be impacted by your business being damaged. There are resources available to small business owners and their employees through organizations like the Small Business Administration (SBA).

Choose the right restoration partner. The restoration process is easier if you’re working with highly qualified people who use advanced technology to restore your business. Also, look for a partner who is available to answer your questions and responsive to your needs. Read reviews, talk with other business owners and check certifications to help you make a choice.
