What Are Some Helpful Preventive Measures For My North Nashville Enterprise?

Here are some helpful ways you can prevent storm damage to your North Nashville commercial business:

• Stay abreast of your local weather forecast. Download a weather app, sign up for local weather alerts, and pay attention to the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA). The National Weather Service also issues weather alerts based on three-tiered levels:
• Winter Weather Warning: This warning tells you to take action; a winter storm will likely impact your area. You should take steps to be prepared for strong winds, heavy snow or ice, and freezing temperatures that will make outdoor exposure and travel dangerous.
• Winter Weather Watch means you should be prepared. Conditions in your area favor a winter storm with a potential for severe winter weather. If a winter storm hits North Nashville, be prepared for freezing temperatures, heavy snow or ice, and strong winds that may make traveling and outdoor exposure unsafe.
• Winter Weather Advisory lets you know to be aware. Winter weather conditions should be expected but may not be severe enough to meet more serious warning levels. You should exercise caution when traveling and avoid prolonged exposure to outdoor conditions.
• Assess your business property to determine if any areas need your attention in the fall so you have time to address problems before winter. Consider everyday items like trees, doors and windows, roofs, and water pipes.
• Gather or purchase all the supplies you’ll likely need and store them in an easily accessible place. The most valuable tools for winter weather are:
• Snow shovel, roof rake, ice chipper
• Snow brushes and window scrapers
• Road salt and ice melt
• Flashlights and batteries
• Jumper cables
• An electric generator
• Blankets
• Food and water
• Consolidate your essential contact information into one document, including your snowplow company, local fire department, police department, insurance agent, heating contractor, plumber, and electrician. Keep the list with your emergency tools.
