Hurricane Continency Planning

Last year, Texas businesses faced more than $80 billion in storm-related damages.

This year’s hurricane season is forecasted to be another active one. A solid contingency plan could be the difference between staying operational—or losing thousands in downtime, damaged equipment, and missed opportunities.

Why waiting could cost you

Inventory Moves Fast

Generator rentals are in high demand during storm season—and most companies rent on a first-come, first-served basis. If you wait, you may find the size or model you need is already gone.

Delays Add Up

Getting a generator to your site takes time, especially when demand is high and logistics are stretched. The longer you wait to reserve, the longer you may be without power when it matters most.

Prices May Spike

Most companies raise rates during emergency events. Locking in your contingency plan early can help you avoid surge pricing and budget surprises.
