Hurricane Preparedness and Response Checklist

Know What to Do Before You’re in the Storm’s Path

Preparing for a hurricane involves more than just having supplies on hand. It requires knowing who’s responsible for what, how you’ll communicate when conditions deteriorate, and what recovery looks like before you’re in the middle of it.

Ensure your business is hurricane-ready

Use this checklist to:

• Audit your pre-season readiness across facilities, communication systems, and employee contacts
• Follow a structured action sequence when a storm enters your watch area
• Keep critical tasks from falling through the cracks during landfall and the immediate aftermath
• Accelerate recovery by knowing what to verify, restore, and document once the storm has passed
