Hurricane Safety is as important for homeowners as it is for business owners. As part of our Hurricane Preparation for Business Series, here is a general checklist of what to do before during and after a disaster:

1. Know Your Risk. Check your hurricane evacuation level and FEMA flood maps to determine if your business location is vulnerable to storm surge or freshwater flooding. Have your building(s) inspected by a licensed professional to find out if your workplace is vulnerable to hurricane force winds and what is recommended to retrofit.

2. Take the Necessary Precautions. If a storm threatens, secure your building. Cover windows. Cover and move furniture/equipment to a secured area.

3. Always Protect Your Data with Backup Files. If dependent on data processing, consider an alternate site. Make provisions for alternate communications and power.

4. Make Plans To Work With Limited Cash, No Water, Sewer or Power for Two Weeks. Store emergency supplies at the office.

Here’s the scenario. Your toilet is backed up and overflows. You panic! Unfortunately, panicking will not help you get your bathroom cleaned up. So what should you do in the event of a sewer overflow?

Here are the basics when it comes to toilet and sewer cleanup. Note: This lens only refers to basic toilet overflow. If you are experiencing serious sewer backup, please follow this advice on sewer damage

Toilet Overflow…Well, Almost:

1) Stop the water from surging out of the toilet. Most of the time, toilets begin to overflow after being flushed. As soon as you notice the water rising, turn off the immediate water supply (this is a knob found behind and below the toilet, usually either on the left or the right).

2) Once the water has been contained, get a plunger. Grease up your elbows and begin to plunge. The goal is to get the toilet to drain itself. If you succeed, wait a few minutes and then turn on the water supply again.

3) With the water supply on, attempt a flush. If the toilet water begins to rise again, repeat the above steps. Keep doing this until your are able to achieve a flush.
