We provide key updates to make to your Hurricane Playbook now that the tropics have once again started heating up.

Hurricanes can devastate your business, which is why it's crucial that you stay informed. AccuWeather's Hurricane Warning Service can get real-time insights to decision-makers when they need it most. 

As we head into peak hurricane season, here are a few quick suggestions for thawing out your company’s hurricane playbook:

1. Update leadership and emergency call lists

If the forecast changes dramatically or the storm rapidly intensifies, you will need to be able to reach key stakeholders and act quickly. Updating your call lists and ensuring that all key leaders have offline copies of these lists is a simple step that can dramatically impact your early response activities.

2. Identify major asset, infrastructure, or personnel changes

One of the many keys to effective hurricane business impact analyses is an accurate and comprehensive awareness of where your organization could be vulnerable to storm surge, inland flooding, or strong winds. We highly recommend coordinating with your organization’s facilities and human resources groups so that you know how the storm will impact your facilities and your staff.

3. Communicate your briefing cadence

Hurricane forecasts are updated at specific times when new observations and new weather model runs have had time to be received and evaluated by meteorologists. Take time now to remind leadership and emergency planning groups of the time of day they should expect to receive updates so incident response briefing times can be set alongside expectations for new information.
