Dear Agility Members and Friends,

As an added value to our members, Agility Recovery Solutions issues preparedness reminders to help protect individuals and organizations who may be in harms way.

A TROPICAL STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT FROM MORGAN CITY LOUISIANA EASTWARD TO DESTIN FLORIDA...AND A TROPICAL STORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT EAST OF DESTIN TO INDIAN PASS FLORIDA. A TROPICAL STORM WARNING MEANS THAT TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITHIN THE WARNING AREA WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

The best defense against a potential hurricane is preparation.

BE PREPARED

Image1. Videotape or photograph the interior and exterior of the building; this will assist with tax credit claims and insurance verification.
2. Assemble insurance policies, financial records, inventories and other important documents. Make duplicates and store in alternate safe places.
3. If you have a fleet of company vehicles, fill with gas and arrange to store the vehicles at a more secure location on higher ground.
4. Move all remaining records away from windows and floor.
5. Arrange to pay employees in advance, should banking institutions be inoperable. Verify sufficient petty cash is available.
6. Move merchandise, equipment and furniture from nearby windows and skylights.
