Wildfires, Hurricanes, and More: Stormproofing Your Business Starts Here

FRESNO, California – Cody Sarhan, Communications Specialist

The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene and Milton has been a brutal reminder of just how fragile our communities are. As these powerful storms batter the southeastern United States, businesses find themselves in a fight to stay afloat — literally and figuratively. Disasters can strike at any time, and if your business isn’t prepared, the aftermath can be catastrophic.

While most companies prepare for physical safety during storms, far too many neglect their data, customer records, and proprietary IP, leaving them vulnerable. Imagine losing not just your office or storefront, but the very lifeblood of your company, overnight. It’s all too easy and entirely preventable with a disaster recovery plan.

It’s easy to think of hurricanes, fires, or blackouts as temporary setbacks. You board up the windows, cross your fingers, and hope for the best, right? But even if your office remains physically untouched, your business might not be as lucky. Natural disasters don’t just cause power outages; they trigger extended downtime, hardware failures, and data loss that can result in major financial damage. According to FEMA, up to 60% of businesses never reopen their doors after a major disaster. And among those that survive, less than a third survive another two years before shutting down for good.

What Is a Disaster Recovery Plan?

A disaster recovery plan is a set of procedures that outlines how to respond to unplanned incidents, including natural disasters, cyberattacks, or even equipment failures. The goal? To get your business back up and running as quickly as possible with minimal disruption. Think of it like a life jacket or a safety net for your data and systems.

Every hour that your business operations are offline could mean thousands of dollars in lost revenue. And it’s not just about the money. Your reputation is at stake, too. Clients and partners rely on you, and if you’re not there when they need you, they might not stick around for long.

If you’re gambling that you won’t be affected, you’re betting your entire business on an unrealistic hope. A proper disaster recovery plan means the difference between quickly bouncing back or never coming back at all.
