Check the plan to release and recall Team Members before and after the flood.
Notify Guests and suppliers of possible closure.
Wrap electronics, such as POS terminals, in plastic sheets to keep water out, or move them to a higher,
safer location.
Protect and relocate vital records as necessary. Instruct Team Members to remove all loose files from
floors and desks and place in cabinets.
Place identified contractors and equipment repair companies on alert.
Ensure deposits are made to armored car carrier to minimize the amount of cash in the building.
The ROD/ROM will notify WHQ of possible closure.
IF YOU ARE FORCED TO LEAVE THE STORE
Stay calm.
Check doors, windows, air intakes and grates.
Shut down the natural gas supply to kitchen equipment at the main valve outside.
Power down all games and contact IT for server support.
Shut down at the main control switch, if it is safe to do so.
Check electrical control rooms from the outside. Do not operate electrical equipment if floor or
equipment is wet or moist. Do not enter wet control rooms if equipment is energized.
Evacuate Team Members to safe ground.
If you have time to safely do so, call your ROD/ROM explaining that you are leaving the store and inform
him/her where you are heading. If you don’t have a mobile phone be sure to let him/her know that you
will contact him/her or the Crisis Hotline once you, your Team Members and your Guests are safe.
The ROD/ROM will notify the Crisis Team via the Crisis Hotline.
Do not walk through moving water. Six inches of moving water can make you fall. If you have to walk in
water, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of
you.
Stay away from downed power lines, and report them to the power company if possible.
Remember, your safety and that of your Team Members and Guests is the first priority.
AFTER THE FLOOD
Contact the ROD/ROM or the Crisis Hotline for direction and next steps regarding damage control,
cleanup and documentation.
Report any injuries and the condition of utilities.
Refer to the “Post-Storm Cleanup” section of this Guide.
