Hurricane season officially starts in June—and in South Florida, that means more than just stocking up on bottled water. For your business, it means preparing your technology, data, and communication systems to survive and recover from potential outages, floods, and infrastructure damage.
At Klos Consulting, we specialize in helping small and mid-sized businesses stay operational, no matter what nature throws your way.
The Cost of Unpreparedness
A single storm can knock out power, internet, and critical systems. If you’re not prepared:
-
You may lose access to essential files
-
You could experience extended downtime
-
Your customers might lose trust
-
You risk permanent data loss
6 Must-Haves for IT Hurricane Preparedness
1. Cloud-Based Backups:
Ensure your data is securely backed up to the cloud and accessible remotely.
2. Disaster Recovery Plan:
A written, tested plan ensures your team knows what to do and when to do it.
3. Remote Access Setup:
Make sure employees can access systems securely from home or alternate locations.
4. Surge Protection & UPS Devices:
Keep your hardware safe from power spikes and outages.
5. Communication Continuity:
Set up tools like VoIP or cloud phone systems to stay in touch if your office is down.
6. Vendor & IT Contact List:
Know who to call immediately in case of an emergency.
When to Act? Now.
Don’t wait for the storm forecast. The time to plan is before a storm is even named. We recommend reviewing your disaster plan at least once a year—preferably before hurricane season begins.
