Flood plan helps businesses prepare.(News)
Here are some general tips from the Federal Emergency Management Agency on flood and hurricane preparation for businesses:
* Ask your local emergency management office whether your facility is located in a flood plain. Find out the history of flooding in your area. Determine the elevation of your facility in relation to streams, rivers, and dams.
* Learn about community evacuation plans from your local emergency management office.
* Establish facility shutdown procedures. Make plans for assisting employees who may need transportation.
* Purchase a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather radio with a warning alarm tone and battery backup. Listen for flood watches and warnings.
* Get information about flood insurance from your insurance carrier. Regular property and casualty insurance does not cover flooding.
