Do You Have a Wood Shop Disaster Plan?
Monday June 16, 2008
June 1 marked the beginning of Hurricane season in the North Atlantic basin. Of course, anyone paying attention to the news has noticed a higher than normal number of tornadoes in the US this year, not to mention the flooding in Iowa the past couple of weeks.
With these natural disasters in the forefront of my mind, I began to wonder how many woodworkers have a disaster plan for their shop, to protect their woodworking tools from hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes or other such natural disasters.
In Do You Have a Wood Shop Disaster Plan?, I list a number of ideas to prepare your wood shop for such natural emergencies. No manner of planning will guarantee to protect your investments in woodworking tools from these unforeseen events, but developing good habits and taking some common-sense precautions will help move the odds in your favor.

I keep all tools I can in milk-type stackable crates , and other empty crates always available to be packed in a hurry….after living in the mountains of Arizona and packing up during forest fires summer after summer I found this to be a time saving technique……
also have your tools , shed etc…. properly insured
