Fast Facts About Disasters and Business
Here some interesting facts about how disasters can affect businesses and how a little planning can help protect yours:
According to the Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), “At least one-fourth of all businesses that close because of a disaster never reopen.” Having a standby commercial generator could mean that your business could stay open.
According to a Harris Interactive survey in 2004, “54% of executives from Fortune 1000 companies admitted to having a technology disruption because they weren’t adequately prepared.” Even if your business must be closed, with a standby commercial generator all your equipment can keep running so that you don’t lose valuable records, data, or stock.
According to the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute at the University of South Carolina, “91% of Americans live in places at moderate to high risk of earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, wildfires, hurricanes, flooding, and high-wind damage.” All of these situations could knock out your business’ power for days.
According to FEMA, “Power outages are commonplace during disasters, and they may last for several days. As a result, even businesses that are not severely damaged can suffer losses because of the interruption of normal operations or the loss of perishable stock. You can reduce these losses and speed the recovery process by installing an emergency generator.”
