Wide-spread flood damage in the Midwest has once again put disaster preparedness in the forefront of minds of business owners everywhere. Hundreds of millions of dollars in losses continue to be tallied, including amusement equipment and at least one operator's office building in the most hard-hit area of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Meanwhile, states down river are shoring up levees as the Mississippi River rises.
What measures do you have in place in the event of a natural disaster in your area? If you have experienced a similar event, what advice do you have for operators across Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri going forward?
If you run an amusement route or facility in the affected areas, what advance preparations were you able to make? What damages were incurred and how has business been disrupted? To what extent were losses recoverable or irrevocable? What are the steps you're taking to restore locations and your business?
