Impact of Oklahoma Tornado

 

Maybe you do not think that the Oklahoma tornado that destroyed a town has an impact on your small business…think again.

 

The people from this Oklahoma community could:

Have been planning a vacation in your area

Purchase your product or service though a store or on line

Warehouse or drive a vehicle that delivers your supplies or products.

Or maybe your deliveries need to travel through this area.

 

In two days of March 2012 over 600 major storm warnings were forecast for the states just north and west of Florida. In two days of April 2011 this number was over 1400.

Not only is South Florida exposed to major storms each year but on average Florida gets 55 Tornados a year…The same as Kansas

 

Hope this makes you think about your plans for disasters that could impact your business.
