10 more named storms could materialize.
Is Your Business Hurricane-Ready?
Summer may be winding down, but
hurricane season is far from over. Is your business ready?
The Atlantic hurricane season runs
from June 1 through Nov. 30, and The Weather Channel recently predicted 10 more
named storms this year. The Times-Picayune
also warned against complacency. If you haven’t already done so, NFIB/LA
encourages all members to put together a business continuity plan in case of
extreme weather.
