When Disaster Strikes

As soon as a hurricane is forecasted, Siflinger has his employees on a three-tiered alert system, beginning 72 hours before the storm is expected to hit. Each employee has a "checklist" of duties he or she is responsible for in the event of an emergency.

"The checklist will allow the person to know what to do at different stages," Siflinger explains. Duties include covering equipment such as copiers, printers and presses, and moving gear off of the floors and away from windows.
