• SABER is monitoring slightly more than 3,400 business locations from South Florida through the NC-VA border that are forecast to have wind and storm surge impact from Hurricane Dorian. • At 11 AM Tuesday, about 260 had reported closures. • A little over 1,050 are in Florida which has reported closings for 180 business locations (17%). • As might be expected, GA, SC, and NC have smaller percentage of closings, about 3% of the monitored business locations. • Most closures are “Big Box” stores and chain stores. • Some closed stores are coastal and influenced by evacuation orders. • Smaller stores (food service, convenience, grocery etc.) with fewer employees and more flexibility, perhaps, are not currently closing while the potential impact is still uncertain. • Supporting this commentary, SABER now includes among its members Waffle House, and the “Waffle House” Index shows no locations with closed or limited operations. www.SABERspace.org www.XchangeCore.org Hurricane Dorian
