Coming Back Strong After a Disaster

These tips can help you thrive after a natural disaster:

Build a solid plan before you need one. 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. You can even think about moving your business to a backup location. Some businesses can keep operating from a new location without serious disruption.

Take special care to provide thorough documentation. Take pictures of the damage to your business before you begin the cleanup process so your insurer can see the full extent of the damage. If your insurance company asks for documents, provide them.

Don’t forget to reach out to the people you rely on. Stay in touch with your suppliers, your employees, your customers and your wider community. You can consider a variety of options to do this, including social media posts and email lists.

Help your employees to connect with the available resources. Resources are available to small business owners and their employees through organizations like the Small Business Administration (SBA). You may be surprised at the amount of help there is out there for business owners.

Carefully choose your restoration partners. The restoration process is easier if you’re working with highly qualified people who use advanced technology to restore your business. Read reviews, talk with other business owners and check certifications to help you make a choice.
