Hoboken, New Jersey - (Vocus) May 28, 2015 – eMazzanti Technologies, a New York City area IT consultant and managed services provider, commented today on predictions for the 2015 hurricane season urging business leaders and owners to prepare for unpredictable hurricane land falls regardless of the forecast.
“Disaster recovery planning is a must. E-Commerce companies, or any business with customer data won’t survive if they aren’t back up and running quickly following a disaster,” stated Jennifer Mazzanti, President, eMazzanti Technologies. “Preparation is key to business survival regardless of the forecast. Hurricanes are just one of many disaster scenarios that can put the unprepared out of business.”

In spite of a lighter than average hurricane forecast for 2015, forecasters are also urging preparation. An accuweather.com article dated May 15, 2015 informs readers of this year’s hurricane predictions, also stating that only one named storm, Hurricane Arthur, hit the U.S. last year, causing more economic than physical damage.
“But, I don’t want to diminish the potential for anywhere along the coast to be hit by a hurricane or a tropical storm this year,” AccuWeather Expert Meteorologist Dan Kottlowski commented.
Each year experts predict the total number of hurricanes and the number of major storms. For 2015, AccuWeather.com’s long-range forecasting team anticipates:
These numbers are slightly less than 2014 predictions, but atmospheric conditions are similar. Without exception, however, forecasters are warning the population to not be complacent. The consensus is that it only takes one Hurricane coming ashore to cause a major disaster, and you should be prepared.
A lighter than normal hurricane season doesn’t mean there will be no disasters. According to accuweather.com, Hurricane Andrew leveled much of South Florida after a calm summer in 1992, and became one of the most disastrous hurricanes on record.
“Just because this season’s numbers are low, it doesn’t mean that people should let their guard down,” Kottlowski went on to say. “It only takes one storm to cause a lot of destruction.”
