Preparing well in advance makes you and those around you safer when anticipating storm season. Distributors can help their contractors and building managers be proactive for most environmental events by assisting them in choosing and stocking up on the best Leviton products designed to aid in emergency preparation.
Before Storm Season
Setting your contractors up to help their customers starts months before storm season. For example, hurricane season in Florida begins in June, so it is best to drop suggestions now.
Tips to help your contractors and building managers evaluate the health of their emergency preparation might include:
Assessment of Electrical Risks: Determine potential electrical problems and ways to lessen the impact of a storm on critical electrical equipment, looking for vulnerable areas within the facility.
Evaluation of Secondary Power Options: Ensure backup power sources including, generators and uninterruptable power devices (UPS), are working correctly.
Monitoring Power Grid: Regularly visit the power grid with pertinent utility companies, plan for contingencies and know expected power outages.
Leviton has developed electrical solutions to help keep people safe in stormy situations, especially with generators and other emergency equipment.

When it is storming, contractors, building managers and other electrical professionals must have a complete understanding of the situation, a strong communication path, and the capability to launch effective responses. This is essential to protecting the safety of workers, and valuable electrical equipment. Leviton has curated response strategies for electrical emergencies.
