As I watch the weather news streaming in from New England, I ponder how bad weather affects one business. It's more than just closed doors. Marketing campaigns could fail due to lack of notice, just ask Romney about Superstorm Sandy stealing the headlines. One's inventory supply chain could be disrupted, especially with most companies embracing lean inventory practices Personally in line with the self-sufficiency consulting that Crossed Sword does I rather loose a little money and have some supplies in reserve than none at all. Eventually your going to re-open and probably be busier than average for the next few days.
The other side of the coin is the clock never stops ticking, deadlines will come due if you are working or not. Once one knows that a major weather event or any disruption event is going to occur. I recommend contacting the clients, suppliers and anyone else you have time sensitive commitments to and work out alternative plans. IMHO This should be part of the standard operations of a company.
Lastly to every business in the affected area, good luck and safe journey during the next couple of days.
