- Deactivate all scheduled FOB door openings (ie. Cleaners, deliveries, etc).
- Disconnect all kitchen gas lines from their gas source.
- Make regular site visits to monitor your shop/business and to manage inventory and storage conditions (consider scattering the times this is done to not establish a pattern).
- Every Insurance company has different insurance wordings, but if your business in unoccupied, you should be checking your properties every day during the shut-down period. Pay particular attention to sump pumps. Consider shutting off the water if it is practical.
