The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1. Luckily, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts a near-normal season, which runs through November 1. And so far, conditions have been unfavorable for storm formation.
Meanwhile, climate-related news coverage over the last two weeks has focused on smoke blanketing North America. The source of the smoke is distant wildfires raging across Canada, yet the impacts have extended deep into the United States, prompting air quality alerts about dangerous conditions everywhere from New York to North Carolina to Illinois.
This swirl of climate uncertainty serves as a stark reminder of the threats facing everyone in North America. It also highlights the importance of disaster preparation and the need to safeguard crucial business data.
In recent years, everyone has witnessed the devastating impact of hurricanes, tornados, floods, fires, and other natural disasters. When these catastrophes strike, communities are often left in turmoil and businesses struggle to recover.
That’s why disaster preparedness is so important. When companies take the time to assess their data backup, incident response, and business continuity plans, they can be ready to react when a disaster does strike. Here’s what CMIT Solutions recommends for businesses across North America:
Building awareness now about disaster preparedness can help foster a culture of resilience in the future. Once your business takes the necessary steps to get ready, encourage those in your network to do the same. If you share resources and offer support before a disaster strikes, you’ll see a major difference in how those interconnected systems operate once a major event occurs.
As we brace ourselves for another hurricane season and turn a cautious eye toward other climate impacts, disaster preparation and data protection become even more important. Prioritizing the safety of individuals, implementing robust business continuity plans, safeguarding critical data, and strengthening infrastructure can enhance our resilience in the face of adversity.
Furthermore, fostering a sense of community and collaboration means that no one will be left behind during the disaster recovery process. Preparedness is not an option but a necessity—together we can weather the storm and emerge stronger than ever before.
No matter what threats your company faces, CMIT Solutions is ready to help. Our 250 independent offices in the United States and Canada have helped thousands of businesses respond to hurricanes, fires, floods, earthquakes, ice storms, pandemics, cyberattacks, and every incident in between.
The biggest lesson we’ve learned is that preparation is critical. The more time you spend prepping for a possible threat, the better off you’ll be when bad things happen. Contact CMIT Solutions today if you want to have data backup protocols and disaster recovery procedures in place before severe weather or summer storms strike.
