Winter is in Connecticut's future!  Not only do you need to get your home ready for winter storms, but your business as well.  Planning now, can save a lot of trouble in the future.  

• Communicate with employees.  Have a predetermined way to communicate with all employees to let them know if you will be open after a storm
• Let customers know if and when you're closing.  Utilizing social media is a great way to keep customers informed! 
• Salt the sidewalks.  Get ahead of the storm by salting your sidewalks before the storm starts to avoid a slippery situation later
• Consider buying a generator.  Having a generator for important devices and products like walk-in coolers and food storage will offer peace of mind when it comes to losing power
• Prepare a winter emergency kit.  Include
  • Battery charged radio
  • Water and food snacks
  • Copies of important documents, all kept in water-proof containers
  • Flashlights
  • First aid kit
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Extra toiletries
  • Cell phone chargers and power bank
