Conduct a risk assessment to identify potential hazards, such as worn pipe insulation or expired fire extinguishers, and address maintenance concerns.
2. Organize Supplies
Download our Emergency Prep & Recovery Checklist to organize your emergency preparedness supplies and guide your cleanup and repair process.

Develop a comprehensive natural disaster recovery plan that covers making repairs and cleaning up so that you can get back to work sooner. Communicate the plan to your staff to ensure everyone understands their roles.
