Hurricane Beryl hit Texas in early July, catching many businesses off guard as they usually expect major storms later in the summer. With predictions of an above-average storm season from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, small businesses need to prepare by reviewing their insurance policies, backing up data, and having an emergency communication plan.
After a hurricane, if your business is in a federally declared disaster area, aid may be available from the Small Business Administration. Details can be found at this SBA link. More information about hurricane preparedness can be found at ready.gov.
