Title: How to Prepare Your Delaware Business for Hurricane Season
Description:

Delaware may not be in the direct path of most hurricanes, but tropical storms regularly bring heavy rainfall, flooding, and power outages. Here’s how to protect your business.

Create a business continuity plan — Document critical processes, key contacts, and recovery steps. Who can work remotely? What equipment is irreplaceable? Start with FEMA’s free toolkit.

Back up everything to the cloud — One flood can destroy on-site data. Use cloud-based backups for financial records, customer data, and inventory. Test backups monthly.

Review your insurance — Standard commercial policies often exclude flood damage. Check FEMA’s flood maps and consider separate flood insurance. Note the 30-day waiting period for new policies.

Prepare your physical space — Clear gutters and drains, secure outdoor signage, elevate critical equipment off the floor, install surge protectors, and consider a generator.

Communicate with customers — Let them know your storm plan via social media and Google Business Profile. Customers appreciate transparency.
