It's Never Too Early to Start Thinking About the 2018 Hurricane Season

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla., April 6, 2018 (Newswire.com) - When it comes to surviving a natural disaster, it’s never too early to prepare a business continuity plan. That’s the message Klos Consulting (www.klosconsulting.com), an IT company that delivers managed services, cloud computing and cybersecurity solutions to businesses throughout South Florida, wants to get across to South Florida businesses.

The 2017 hurricane season was one of the top ten most active in recorded history, and experts are predicting the 2018 season will look very similar. Klos offers a few disaster recovery tips for businesses who want to be fully prepared.

·  Take Advantage of Cloud: A safe place to keep data is in the cloud. Automated data-mirroring solutions provide efficient backups for critical systems without the significant overhead costs. 

·   Test Regularly and Often: A disaster recovery plan is only helpful if it works. To ensure it does, look for data protection solutions that help you create environments for the non-disruptive testing of your disaster recovery plan.

·  Define Responsibilities: A real-life disaster event will be chaotic and confusing. Make sure your staff clearly understands their roles and responsibilities to ensure a smoother recovery after a disaster, including what to do if key people are not available.

When southern Florida was impacted by Hurricane Irma just last year, the team at Klos Consulting was able to save one their construction clients an upwards of a quarter of a million dollars in potential missed business because they had a hurricane preparedness plan in place.

Paulo Souza of PSI Roofing recalls, “the ability to operate the day after the storm was crucial for our business. We were able to capture business opportunities in a way many of our competitors couldn’t because they lacked an internet connection.”

Klos Consulting has seen their fair share of hurricanes, since they’ve been in business for nearly twenty years. Keenan C. Klos, Principle at Klos Consulting, feels that it’s important for all local businesses to have a business continuity plan in place. He’s happy to provide assessments to ensure South Florida businesses are fully prepared for the 2018 hurricane season.
