Hurricane Preparedness Webinar: Smart Storm Readiness

Hurricane Preparedness Webinar: Mark’s Visit to a Local Storm Prep Event
Mark spent the afternoon at a local hurricane preparedness event, where residents, businesses, service providers, and emergency partners came together with one clear goal: get ready before the storm.
Across the event floor, the message was simple. Hurricane preparedness is not just about supplies. It is about people, planning, communication, and confidence.
For Charlotte County businesses, that preparation matters. A good plan can help protect employees, reduce downtime, secure property, and support a faster recovery after severe weather. For workers and families, it can make the difference between scrambling at the last minute and knowing exactly what to do.
Mark’s visit was a strong reminder that storm readiness starts early. It starts with asking the right questions. Do we have a plan? Do our employees know it? Are our records backed up? Can we reopen quickly after a disruption?
To help answer those questions, Charlotte County Economic Development recently hosted a hurricane preparedness webinar with practical guidance for the season ahead.
Watch the webinar and make your plan before the next storm is on the radar.
