Start with how the business operates
Warehouse coverage should protect the facility and also address goods in care, handling equipment, employees, and interrupted operations.
Industry risks to discuss
- Fire, water, and catastrophe losses
- Damage to customers’ property
- Forklift, loading, and employee injuries
Coverage priorities
- Commercial property
- Warehouse legal liability
- Equipment breakdown and business income
Prepare the Business to Continue After a Loss
- Identify the operation's single points of failure
- Estimate realistic restoration time rather than assuming an immediate reopening
- Plan alternate locations, suppliers, systems, equipment, and communication methods
- Coordinate continuity plans with business-income and extra-expense discussions
