Be Prepared for Hurricane Arthur

Be prepared for Hurricane Arthur, and associated storm activity as we move into Fourth of July weekend. Hurricane Arthur is expected to most strongly affect the North Carolina coast including areas surrounding Cape Hatteras, Outer Banks, Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, then will potentially bring heavy rains to areas of New England and Cape Cod. Make sure to prepare your businesses and homes prior to the storm, and be ready to take action if damage occurs to your facilities.

Preparation Tips

• Utilize the Agility Hurricane Preparedness Checklist
• Identify emergency contacts and take them with you. They should include local utilities, insurance agents, emergency managers and town authorities.
• Review your disaster plan and assign responsibilities to your team.
• Identify and be prepared to take critical records with you.
• Contact Polygon for a complimentary registration in our Code Blue Preparedness Program.

Storm Surges

One of the greatest causes of hurricane damage occurs because of storm surges. A surge along with normal tides create a hurricane storm tide, causing a rise in water levels that can result in severe floods along the coast. Businesses and homes located where a storm surge is likely to cause significant flooding should take proper precaution to prepare, and have a plan ready to recover from the water damage.
