Storm Evert hit the UK in the last week of July, causing disruption in the South West of England and Wales. With many thunderstorm and rain warnings in place across Northern Ireland, Scotland and the North of England, the Met Office may name Storm Fleur this week.
The Met Office has stated, “There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds”.
This could be a precarious period for businesses, so planning for poor weather conditions can help your business run smoothly and prevent costly claims. Risk Management can be challenging at the best of times.
Stay ahead of the storm
The need to keep your property maintenance schedule up to date is never more pressing than in inclement weather. There is the possible onslaught from high winds and rain that can leave properties worse for wear. Not to mention the threat of flying debris that can cause damage to properties and be a safety hazard for people. So, prepare for the worst and you could save yourself a lot of trouble.
Be alert to flood risk
Time and tide wait for no one, so there’s no time like the present to be sure that you’ve taken the necessary precautions to protect your property against flooding. You should also have a damage prevention strategy in place just in case your property is flooded, despite your best efforts, so that you know your business would be able to recover.
Take positive precautions
