What to Do When a Disaster Strikes and How to Be Prepared

The storm last night in Southern Wisconsin caught a lot of people by surprise. Was your business impacted? Is your business prepared for natural disasters? Even a severe storm that causes your business to shut down for a period of time can have an impact. Here are some helpful resources on what to do when disaster strikes - large or small - and what you can do to be prepared.

Insurance Coverage
If the recent storm affected your business, make sure you check in with your insurance provider. Even if there wasn’t physical damage, your business may qualify for business interruption coverage.

Property Damage
If your business suffered some damage, check out this information that WRA created for our members on handling property damage.
 
Be Prepared
You hope it never happens to your restaurant, but it’s important to be prepared if disaster strikes. Pre-planning and a good blueprint for what to do if a disaster strikes can have a big impact on the safety of your employees and guests and the ability of your business to recover quickly. The National Restaurant Association provides helpful restaurant-specific disaster preparedness guides.

Also Ready.gov has a helpful Severe Wind & Tornado Toolkit.
