  • Develop a business continuity plan that defines employee roles and responsibilities during an emergency.

  • Identify and inform all staff of an off-site meeting area in case you need to evacuate.
  • If you plan to operate an emergency generator during any outage, please call us at 1-800-990-7788 to let us know. This helps us protect our employees from possible electrical backfeed.
  • If you have a portable gas generator, identify an outdoor location where you can safely use it in a power outage – never use it indoors.
  • If you do not have a generator, consider renting a portable one if needed. (Please note, we cannot reimburse you for this cost.)
