Did you know that a company

that experiences a computer

outage lasting more than 10

days will never fully recover

financially? 50% will be out of

business in 5 years. As we

enter hurricane season, it’s

always good to be prepared for

the worst. Forecasters have

predicted this to be one of the

busiest hurricane seasons with a

prediction of 18 named storms,

10 hurricanes and 5 intense

hurricanes with winds over 110

mph. Small businesses may be

in even more trouble. 70% of

small firms that experience a

major data loss go out of busi-

ness within a year. Of compa-

nies experiencing catastrophic

data loss, 43% never reopen,

51% close within 2 years and

80% of companies who do not

recover within one month are

likely to go out of business.

You need to be prepared for the

worst. 75% of companies with-

out business continuity plans

fail within three years of disas-

ter. If your company doesn't

have a plan in place, you

should start planning now. A

disaster plan and adequate in-

surance are the keys to recov-

ery. You want to not only have

a plan in place but it should be

carried out before hand so your

employees know what to do.

Not only should you plan to

clean up your damage but you

want to have a place to do busi-

ness out of if your building has

severe damage. Flood Control,

Inc. can help your company set

up a disaster recovery plan. By

setting up a disaster recovery

plan you are ahead of the game

and if a hurricane or any other

disaster comes your way we

will have trucks with equip-

ment ready to clean up the mess

and return your location to

working condition.

Forecasters are predicting a very active hurricane sea-son.

Prepare Yourself for Hurricane Season

It Has Been a Busy Spring!

This spring was been very busy

for Flood Control. With the

flooding along the Atlantic

coast as well as in Nashville,

TN, Flood Control was all over

the place. Nashville was hit

very hard with a 500 year

flood. The Opry Mills Mall,

one of the properties Flood

Control was cleaning, was

flooded with more than 10 feet

of water. Rhode Island and

Massachusetts were hit very

hard too. Our teams worked

hard to clean up hundreds of

homes and businesses to per-

fection.
