A business located in a hurricane prone area that takes initiatives to protect themselves from an impending hurricane will save $105 in damages for every $1 invested. This ratio of 1-to-105 is quite convincing on the merits of having a disaster plan in place. This data is based on actual FM Global losses incurred by 1800 clients between 2008 and 2017.

Having a generator in place proved to be an invaluable advantage; and elevating anything of value to higher ground whether it be a generator, important documents or any specialized equipment helped keep water damage to a minimum. Inspecting the property when a Hurricane Watch went into effect gave enough time to secure rooftops, brace doors, board up windows, and anchor projectiles before the storm became imminent. These steps reduced exposure to loss by as much as 70% with minimal disruption to business.
