Local businesses and communities in and around Buffalo, N.Y., know all too well the devastation an unexpected winter storm can have on their businesses and their lives. Over the years, emergency experts have advised people to prepare for storms ahead of time, yet research indicates only 18 percent of adults living in storm-prone areas describe themselves as "very prepared" for a natural disaster such as a winter storm.
Striving to create a safer work environment for businesses, Grainger, a leading industrial distributor, is helping organizations across North America prepare for the upcoming winter storm season through a new winter storm program designed to educate customers to try to mitigate some of the potential dangers caused by winter storms. The company created a 12-page winter storm preparedness guide, and today launched a dedicated Web site at http://www.grainger.com/winter to help businesses and institutions prepare in advance of a storm.
