It is time to sit down and list the types of disasters your business might be subject to, the probability of such a disaster, and predict the least and worst damage and disruption.
Can we predict every possibility? No. Many years ago a client had a semi truck drive through his front window and destroy his entire store. Who would have predicted that?
The beginning of preparedness is recognition. Consider:
Fire
Flood
Wind / Tornado
Hurricane
Earthquake
Bio or chem event (the refinery down the street springs a leak)
Power outages / surges / gas leaks
Fires in adjacent businesses
Active shooter in vicinity
Railroad derailments
Risk management is such a cheerful art and science. (?)
In the near future we discuss planning for potential threats.
