• Carefully evaluate how your company functions, both internally and externally, in order to determine which staff, materials, procedures, and equipment are absolutely necessary to keep the business operating in a storm situation. 
• Identify operations critical to survival and recovery.
• Plan what you will do if your building is not accessible
• Cover any windows with precut plywood or hurricane shutters to protect them from high wind
• Consider if you will be able to run the business form an alternate location or even from your home
• Turn off utilities as instructed
• Turn off propane tanks
• Develop relationships with other companies who may allow you to use their location if a disaster makes your location unstable
• Ask SERVPRO of Edison about setting up your business with a Disaster Recovery Profile
