The Hartford Small Biz Ahead: Hurricane Season: How To Prepare Your Business

Critical Action Steps to take to prepare for Hurricane Season

With another month left of hurricane season, I review important action steps for small business owners— especially those in high risk areas (and not just hurricanes, tornadoes as well).

As of October 2024, over $1 billion in damages has been left in the wake of these catastrophic weather events. A report from CBS News earlier this month estimated that Hurricane Helene is likely to be the most costly hurricane since Katrina in 2005.

  -Backing up your business data regularly
  -Reaching out to your insurance provider
  -Getting Commercial Flood Insurance through The Hartford (listen below for information more on this)
  -U.S. Small Business Administration and FEMA assistance
