Although we have adopted to working from home, it is still important to ensure that your business is prepared for Hurricane Season. Statistically, those that don’t may never fully recover from a disaster. At WheelHouse IT, we understand what it means to be storm ready! With the 2020 Hurricane Season officially here, our team has once again, reviewed and refined our hurricane plans.
The 2020 hurricane season begins on June 1st. Have you developed a hurricane preparedness plan to protect your business and staff in the event of an impending storm?
Hurricane season lasts approximately six months each year with the official start date of June 1st through November 30th. For 2020, weather experts anticipate an active hurricane season with the likelihood of 14-18 named tropical storms. Seven to nine of those storms are forecast to strengthen into hurricanes with two to three storms developing into major hurricanes(category 3 or above) capable of catastrophic damage. This 2020 season is considered an above-normal season for tropical disturbances.
