  • Stock up on emergency supplies: This should include items such as non-perishable food, water, flashlights, and batteries.
  • Secure loose objects: Make sure that any loose objects, such as outdoor furniture or signs, are securely fastened to prevent them from becoming projectiles in high winds.
  • Test generators and backup systems: Make sure that backup generators and other systems are in good working order and test them to ensure they will function during a power outage.
  • Backup and store important data: Make sure that important business data is backed up and stored in a secure location.
  • Take down solar panels to avoid damage. Remind your families the islands to do so as well after charging their devices.
  • Communicate with employees: Keep employees informed about the potential storm and what steps the company is taking to prepare.
  • Check on critical systems: Check on critical systems, such as air con, plumbing, and electrical systems, and take steps to protect them from potential damage.
  • Plan for continuity of operations: Develop a plan for how the business will continue to operate in the event of damage or disruption.
