With a cyclone heading our way, now’s the time to shore up your website so your business can ride the waves safely. Here’s what we recommend:

Before the Cyclone Rolls In

1. Set Up Auto-Replies – Let customers know things might be slower than usual. A simple “We’re weathering the storm—expect delays” will do the trick.

2. Back Up Your Website – Save everything to the cloud or an external drive. Think of it like stashing your valuables before a big swell.

3. Turn Off Payments – If your business might be impacted, pausing transactions can help avoid any issues.

4 Update Shipping & Service Notices – If deliveries or services might be delayed, let your customers know upfront.

When the Cyclone Hits

5. Unplug & Stay Safe – Power down electricals, disconnect from servers, and listen for updates.

6. Monitor Social Media & Customer Inquiries – If you can, keep an eye on things remotely.

After the Storm Passes

7. Check Your Website’s Status – Make sure it’s running smoothly and re-enable payments if all is good.

8. Update Customers – Let them know when you’re back in action. A quick email or social post works wonders.

9. Support Your Community – If the storm causes disruptions, a little kindness and patience go a long way.
