Prepare Your New Jersey Business for Cold Weather and Winter Storms

The effects of cold weather and winter storms (blizzards, snow storms, wind, heavy rains and ice) are a leading cause of business interruption. When a business cannot fully function, profits are affected. Taking preventative actions can help prevent a lot of problems from occurring during cold weather.

Tips to prepare ahead to avoid damage later:

• Check your business property for downed tree limbs and branches, which could cause damage to the property and potentially cause personal injuries.
• Inspect property, especially walkways and parking lots, for proper drainage to alleviate flood hazard potential.
• Inspect all handrails, stairwells and entryways to address and correct potential slippery or hazardous areas. Install mats or non-slip surfaces and post caution signs where water could be present.
• Ask your local SERVPRO of Toms River about starting an Emergency Ready Profile for your business.
