Winter-related Business Interruption—How to Prepare

road covered by snow near vehicle traveling at daytimeWinter can be a challenging season for businesses, with severe weather conditions posing significant risks to operations. As a business owner, it’s crucial to prepare for potential disruptions and ensure you have the right insurance coverage to protect your business.

Assess Risks

Consider your business's location and the likelihood of severe weather events such as snowstorms, ice storms and extreme cold. Understanding these risks can help you develop a comprehensive plan to mitigate their impact.

Get Your Business Winter-Ready

Even Florida can occasionally experience uncommonly cold temperatures, so it pays to be prepared. Inspect your building’s roof, windows and doors to ensure they can withstand snow and ice. Make sure your heating system is in good working order, and consider installing backup generators to keep your business running during power outages. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can prevent many issues that could lead to business interruptions.

Make a Communication Plan

Have a clear communication plan in place for your employees and customers. Inform your staff about the procedures to follow in case of severe weather, including remote work options and emergency contact information.

Keep your customers informed about changes to your business hours or services due to weather-related disruptions. Clear and timely communication can help maintain trust and minimize confusion during challenging times.

Review Your Insurance Coverage

The right insurance coverage is essential for protecting your business from winter-related interruptions. Review your policy to ensure it includes appropriate coverage for winter-related risks, including the following:

  • Business interruption insurance can help cover lost income and operating expenses if your business is forced to close temporarily due to a covered event.
  • Property insurance can cover damage to your building and equipment caused by snow, ice and freezing temperatures.
  • General liability insurance can protect your company’s financial stability if someone is injured on your property due to winter conditions.
