Dear Entrepreneur,

The hurricane season has started: that period of the year when more storms occur. It’s important to protect your business from a storm. How do you ensure that your company is well prepared? We’ll list it for you:

• Make sure your employees also know that hurricane season has started.
• Bring in loose items. Keep the area outside your company clean and see what the wind could possibly dislodge.
• Keep the rooien (ditches) free so that the rainwater can flow away.
• Do not park cars in the rooien (ditches).
• Determine where in the building you and your employees are safe in an emergency: a space that is not directly exposed to the wind.
• Carpenter plywood sheets against the windows for protection. You can also stick duct tape in the shape of an X on the windows: from the top left corner to the bottom right corner and vice versa.
• Have an emergency supply: extra cash, batteries, a flashlight, a radio or TV on batteries, bottles of drinking water (3 liters per person per day), toilet paper, cans with food, a can opener, candles, medicines.
• Make sure your phone is charged.
