SAN FRANCISCO'S CENTRAL POINT OF INFORMATION FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
|
|
|
Starting on Wednesday, January 4th, the National Weather Service is predicting strong winds and heavy rain. San Francisco is expecting downed power lines, trees, and localized flooding.
Get prepared:
If your business is in a flood prone area, there are things you can do to lessen the impact of major rain and winds:
-
Get sandbags: pick them up for free at the Department of Public Works’ operations yard at 2323 Cesar Chavez
- Bring in, or secure, outdoor furniture and equipment
-
Raise inventory and/or equipment off the ground. If you store boxes or inventory stacked on the ground, move them to tabletops or carts
- Ensure that you and your employees have what they need in case the power goes out, such as flashlights, charged mobile devices, and extra batteries
- Sign up for AlertSF by texting your Zip Code to 888-777 for real-time emergency alerts
During the storm:
-
Stay away from flooded areas and downed power lines whether in car or on foot
- Do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water
- Call 311 to report flooding and clogged storm drains
- ONLY call 911 for life-threatening emergencies, not to report flooding issues
After the storm:
If your business is flooded during rains on New Year's Eve or this week, here are some steps you can take:
-
Make a record of your business losses by take photos and videos of damage
- Contact your insurance provider and/or landlord
-
