Tornado season doesn’t wait, and when one hits, you may only have minutes to react. These powerful storms can tear through communities with little warning, leaving behind shattered buildings, lost inventory, and halted operations. That’s why preparation isn’t optional; it’s essential.

In this blog, we’re sharing the tornado preparedness tips every business owner needs now, plus how Gild’s Claims Concierge can help you recover faster if disaster strikes. Our support is fast, personal, and free even if you’re not currently insured with Gild.

Why Tornado Preparedness Requires a Different Plan

Unlike hurricanes or snowstorms, tornadoes can touch down with almost no warning. The aftermath is often total: damaged roofs, shattered windows, and complete business shutdowns.

According to the National Weather Service, tornadoes cause more than $10 billion in damage annually. Business owners must prepare not only to survive the storm—but to recover quickly afterward.

That’s why combining tornado preparedness tips with Gild’s Claims Concierge makes all the difference.

Tornado Preparedness Tips Every Business Should Follow

A solid plan doesn’t need to be complex. It just needs to be ready.

Here are the essentials:

• Designate a safe room in your building and train staff to access it
• Keep an offsite or cloud-based backup of all critical documents
• Photograph your building, equipment, and inventory ahead of time
• Store an emergency contact sheet in both print and digital form
• Identify alternative work locations in case of major damage

These tornado preparedness tips can help reduce losses and stress. Especially when paired with a responsive claims strategy.
