As business owners locally and up and down the East Coast continue to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, it's a good reminder to be prepared for natural disasters with proper insurance. Businesses that recover quickly are those that plan in advance. Property damage from disasters-whether natural, such as Hurricane Irene, or caused by an act of terrorism, such as the 9/11 attacks-can destroy a business. Fortunately there are steps you can take to be prepared.
