Storm Preparedness: Protecting Power While Preserving Business
A guide for facility & operations managers on preparing for severe weather. 
Why It Matters
Losing power during severe weather is not only dangerous, but it can also have a costly impact on revenue and productivity. A solid storm plan ensures critical systems keep running, even in unexpected conditions. One of the most effective ways to prevent damaging outages is by having a reliable storm generator ready to go.
Start with Communication
Every successful plan starts with clear communication. Conduct an emergency audit to identify vulnerabilities, then use that insight to create a storm protocol. Make sure every department and shift understand the plan and their role in it.
Have a Contingency Plan
Even if you have a standby generator, you still need a backup strategy. Identify critical systems and consider what happens if your standby fails? It’s important to know where you would be able to find a properly sized generator, how you’d be able to connect it, and whether fuel would be available or not.
Keep Operations Ready
Preparedness doesn’t stop at owning a generator. Routine maintenance, fuel stockpiling, battery checks, and spare parts storage are all essential to keeping your generator running at full capacity when it matters most. Investing in the best storm generator for your facility ensures you’re ready for anything.
Stay Informed
Monitor NOAA alerts and local emergency services for real-time weather updates. Knowing when to activate your storm plan allows you to prepare before the outage hits.
