Smart choice.
By preparing, you’re making an investment in your resilience.
Now, let’s triple-check you have it all covered.

Resilience requires the ability to rebound, but that means special preparation.
FLOOD EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN (FERP)
That’s why every business should have a FERP in place before a hurricane, typhoon or cyclone strikes. And, practice makes perfect. Your plan may look great on paper, but should be tested and practiced before the storm hits.
Other FERP best practices include:
Ownership/authority
Shutdown protocols
Equipment-raising procedures
Plans to prevent floodwaters from entering the building
Business recovery plans
Regular training
FLOOD MITIGATION
Your FERP is important—and physical preparations are, too.
Build resilience into your business before the first
raindrop falls by:
Flood is the world’s most frequent natural hazard.
Ensuring permanent protection for critical equipment
Installing backflow preventers and sump pumps for drains and sewers
Relocating or elevating equipment above flood levels
Installing permanent or temporary flood barriers
WINDSTORM SECUREMENT
Reality check: A cyclone can flatten a 5-acre [2-hectares] factory in seconds.
A hurricane can blow out every window, door and roof in a storage facility. A typhoon can leave millions without
power. It’s scary. But here’s where knowing your
vulnerabilities and deficiencies can make all the difference.
Key areas for consideration are:
Geographic locations
Susceptible occupancies
Roof features
Perimeter flashing
Roof-mounted and other outdoor equipment
Glass windows and other openings
Construction features
