How to Prepare for the 2009 Hurricane Season

The official Atlantic hurricane season is from June 1st to November 30th, with 97% of tropical activity occurring during these dates. With the start of the hurricane season, government agencies will need to prepare for high winds and debris by releasing more disaster prevention and recovery bids and RFPs. From construction and architecture/ engineering projects to debris removal, there will be more opportunities for your business to grow in the government sector with the hurricane season.

The 2009 disaster prevention and relief budget is still available - now is the time to get ahead of the competition and start marketing to the right government decision makers who influence the purchasing agents tied to tornado preparedness and relief spending. By marketing your services early and contacting the right disaster relief decision makers, you can:

• Boost awareness and promote your products
• Establish relationships and build more sales
• Influence purchasing decisions early on

Government Contact Lists will help you target the right government contacts for your marketing campaigns, according to government type and function, geography, job responsibility/ title, such as education officials, emergency officials, public works officials, building and facility officials, information technology officials, and many other custom criteria based on the unique needs of your business. Pre-packaged lists of government officials and decision-makers can make it easy to quickly obtain your marketing lists for hurricane relief or disaster related contracts. Contacting the right government decision makers is critical to improving your marketing response rate and saving wasted resources.
