Hurricane Preparedness For Businesses: A Comprehensive Guide

Hurricanes are one of the most destructive forces of nature, and businesses located in hurricane-prone areas, particularly along the Atlantic coast, must prepare for the inevitable impact of these storms. While we often think of hurricanes in terms of immediate physical damage, the ripple effects—like prolonged power outages, loss of internet, and disruptions to supply chains—can cripple business operations for extended periods. Preparing your business before hurricane season can mitigate potential risks, reduce financial loss, and ensure faster recovery.

Hired and Non-Owned Automobile Coverage – “but I have no autos”

An often misunderstood insurance coverage that is very important for a business, is Hired and Non-Owned Automobile (“HNOA”) coverage. Most of the time, the company that is considering such coverage doesn’t think it has exposure to this particular risk since they do not own any automobiles. This could not be further from the truth… Recently, there was a tragic accident in NYC Times Square, where a delivery vehicle on its way to a jobsite fatally injured a pedestrian. So, here’s what will, most likely, happen…the family of the deceased would, surely, look to the driver of the vehicle and the company that owns it for compensation. Unfortunately, that’s not it, they [the

New Commercial Property Endorsement Can Mean Problems for Landlords

The discovery of methamphetamine labs is an ongoing issue across the United States, with National Public Radio reporting that around 300 meth labs are found each week.

CISA/FBI Holiday Cyber Advisory

As air travel for the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend spiked to pre-pandemic levels and AAA estimates over 53 million people will hit the road this holiday, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and FBI issued an advisory yesterday, warning critical infrastructure partners that malicious cyber actors tend to strike during holiday weekends. “Although neither CISA nor the FBI currently have identified any specific threats, recent 2021 trends show malicious cyber actors launching serious and impactful ransomware attacks during holidays and weekends.” This advisory, once again, emphasizes the importance of organizations being vigilant and taking proactive measures to minimize the risk and impact of a potential cyber-attack, which, based on 2021 trends, seems
