STORM-PROOF YOUR BUSINESS : CONTINUITY TIPS FOR CONTRACTORS & BUSINESS OWNERS

When hurricanes threaten, most advice focuses on protecting homes—but for contractors and business owners, the stakes are just as high. Every day of downtime means lost income, disrupted clients, and potential long-term setbacks.

At Rayneau Construction and Industrial Products (RCIP), we know your work is more than a job—it’s your livelihood. That’s why this week, we’re focusing on storm-proofing your business operations so you can weather the storm and bounce back fast.

Step 1: Secure Your Assets

Cover and store tools & machinery with heavy-duty tarps or in waterproof containers.

Relocate vehicles and equipment to higher ground or enclosed storage.

Tie down or dismantle temporary structures like scaffolding or site fencing.

Step 2: Protect Your Data

Back up client files, invoices, and plans to a secure cloud service.

Store paper documents in waterproof, fireproof safes.

Make sure you have contact lists for employees, suppliers, and clients in both digital and printed form.

Step 3: Safeguard Your Property

Check your roof, windows, and doors for vulnerabilities.

Reinforce warehouse shelving and secure stock.

Install or update surge protectors for sensitive electronics.

 Step 4: Create a Continuity Plan

Assign storm-prep roles to your team.

Identify alternate work locations in case your main site is inaccessible.

Keep a ready-to-use emergency kit with flashlights, batteries, first aid, and non-perishable snacks.
