Following on from our recent blogs about taking the threat of earthquakes more seriously and making your business more prepared, the spate of actual quakes around the place lately should be ramming home the point about the real need for earthquake preparedness.
The region along the California/Mexico border is a prime example.
Calexico on the US side and Mexicali on the Mexican side have been getting rocked continuously since the 7.2 earthquake struck the area on Easter Sunday.
Businesses there have been counting the costs of Mother Nature’s actions with billions of dollars of damage being done to their physical premises, not to mention to their business continuity.
That is precisely why we have been hammering the need for you to undertake non-structural seismic mitigation at your place of business. Ask yourself this – could your business sustain the hits that they’ve been dealing with in Calexico and Mexicali and continue to operate?
At QuakeHOLD! Industrial we specialize in data center seismic mitigation, lab equipment fastening and warehouse seismic fastening. It is where we live and we strongly encourage you to consider the benefits of instituting an earthquake preparedness plan.
Another question you should be asking yourself if you live in an earthquake zone is can you afford to ignore the earthquake threat?
Apart from fastening down all of your expensive equipment and securing your valuable data, also think about providing emergency kits or evacuation essentials kits for your employees.
Check out our website www.quakeholdindustrial.com/ for more information on survival kits and fastening options.
If you’ve been living in a state of denial, it’s time to move. Preparing your business for a major earthquake is relatively easy and affordable, so don’t leave things to chance.
Being prepared is your best defense against earthquakes.
