As Storm Lilian continues to sweep across the UK, businesses are faced with the daunting task of safeguarding their premises against potential threats. With winds reaching speeds of up to 70 mph in some areas, the risk to commercial properties is significant. At Carter Security, we understand that severe weather doesn't just bring physical damage; it can also expose your business to heightened security risks. In this blog, we explore how our professional security services, including manned guarding and alarm response, can help protect your business during these challenging times.
The Security Risks of Strong Winds
When high winds strike, the primary concern is often the physical damage they can cause—broken windows, damaged roofs, and debris strewn across the property. However, these physical vulnerabilities can also lead to increased security threats. Criminals may take advantage of compromised entry points, such as shattered windows or damaged doors, to gain access to your premises. In addition, power outages or communication disruptions caused by the storm could disable existing security systems, leaving your business even more vulnerable.
Strong winds can also cause false alarms, which can divert attention away from genuine security breaches. In the chaos following a storm, opportunistic criminals might strike, knowing that your resources are already stretched thin. That’s where Carter Security comes in, offering robust security solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Manned Guarding: A Strong Line of Defence
One of the most effective ways to protect your business during a storm is through manned guarding. Our highly trained security guards provide a visible and proactive deterrent to potential intruders. Unlike electronic systems, our guards are not affected by power outages or storm-related malfunctions. They are on the ground, ready to respond to any situation in real-time.
Our guards are experienced in handling the unique challenges posed by severe weather. They conduct regular patrols, monitor vulnerable areas, and ensure that all entry points are secure, even in the face of adverse conditions. Their presence alone can be enough to deter would-be criminals, giving you peace of mind that your business is protected.
Alarm Response: Swift Action When It Matters Most
In addition to manned guarding, our alarm response service is an essential part of your security strategy during a storm. When an alarm is triggered, whether due to a genuine threat or storm-related damage, our rapid response team is immediately on the scene. We assess the situation, secure the premises, and take the necessary action to protect your property.
Our team is equipped to handle a variety of scenarios, from false alarms to active break-ins. With our local knowledge and experience, we can navigate storm-damaged areas quickly and efficiently, ensuring that your business receives the protection it needs, when it needs it most.
