- Being prepared starts with a solid plan. Review your Business Continuity Plan—or create one from scratch—to ensure your organization can keep going during and after a storm. Think operations, payroll, vendors, and clients.

2. Don’t wait until the storm hits. Identify your emergency team now, and assign clear responsibilities like safety checks, communications, or supply management. When everyone knows their role, response time is faster and more effective.
3. Keep everyone in the loop. Set up a reliable communication tree so all staff can be contacted quickly in the event of a hurricane or evacuation. Use group texts, apps, or even a phone chain to get the message out.

4. Know your exits—and your stay-put spots. Post clear evacuation maps and identify shelter-in-place areas within your building. Practice the routes so no one is guessing when time is short.

5. Not all evacuation orders are the same. Know your zone and your nearest official route. Practice it if possible. Time saved in a crisis saves lives.

6. Plan it, then test it. Practice what to do in case of a hurricane—where to go, what to bring, who to call. Drills make plans real.
