Joaquin has weakened from a category 1 hurricane to a tropical storm, but it has left a terrible path of flooding and destruction in North and South Carolina, which means many landscape companies will have to deal with the aftermath.
Here are two features Lawn & Landscape did in 2012, highlighting companies affected by Superstorm Sandy. (http://www.lawnandlandscape.com/article/ll0913-surviving-disasters.aspx and http://www.lawnandlandscape.com/article/ll-110112-small-business-sandy.aspx)
In August of this year, we also did a feature highlighting how three firms tackled different aspects of storm cleanup, disaster response and prevention. (http://www.lawnandlandscape.com/article/ll0815-storm-damage-prevention-services.aspx)
Whether you're one of the crews tasked with cleanup, or work for a company in a state unaffected, it's always good to read up and be prepared, so you know what to do if you find yourself in the same situation.
