As now category 5 hurricane, Hurricane Dorian, gets closer and closer to landfall, many parts of the Southeast U.S and the islands in the Gulf Coast prepare for what could be one of the biggest hurricanes in recent history. Storms like these can cause an enormous economic shock to entire geographical areas. They cause people to evacuate whole towns and also many have to very quickly. Then when they get back entire towns can be basically washed away. Because of this, many decision makers have to put plans into action in order to get everyone out and in places that will be safe. This can cause an entire towns economy to be put on halt for a period of time. This impacts many small business owners due to the fact that they may have to go that period of time without making money. How can businesses best react in order to cushion the inevitable hurt that it will cause them?
