Hurricane Season Tech Prep for Charleston Businesses

Storms Are a Fact of Life in the Lowcountry

Every year, Charleston businesses brace for hurricane season. While most owners prepare their properties with sandbags and backup generators, one area often gets overlooked: technology infrastructure.

Power surges, flooding, and high winds can take down networks, security systems, and point-of-sale equipment. Without proper preparation, a single storm can cost businesses thousands in downtime and equipment replacement.

The Problem: Vulnerable Systems in Harsh Conditions

Hurricanes and tropical storms create multiple risks for business technology:

• Power surges → Lightning strikes and outages fry unprotected equipment.

• Flooding and water damage → Exposed cabling and gear can fail when moisture seeps in.

• Network downtime → Internet outages halt transactions, communication, and operations.

• Damaged outdoor equipment → Cameras, access points, and signage often aren’t weatherproof.

For many businesses, these failures mean lost revenue and frustrated customers — at the worst possible time.
