Watch: Tips to Protect Your People and Property During Severe Weather

National Jeweler hosts two retailers and an insurance expert to talk about what jewelers facing these challenges in the future should know.

Incidents of severe weather have become increasingly common, and as such jewelers across the country are facing the challenges that come with keeping their store and teams safe.

In its latest “My Next Question” webinar, National Jeweler was joined by two retailers who recently went through hurricanes and an insurance expert.

Watch the full session above to hear how the retailers prepared their stores and how they dealt with the aftermath. All three panelists also shared tips and advice for other jewelers who may face such situations in the future.

The webinar also addressed the recent announcement that Jewelers of America and Diamond Council of America have reopened their Jewelers Relief Fund, created to assist those affected by disaster, in the wake of Hurricane Ian.

The deadline for donating or applying for relief has been extended to Nov. 11. Read the National Jeweler story online for more information.

Stay tuned for another webinar next month, when all four National Jeweler editors will get together for a year-end wrap-up.

More information will be available about that soon on NationalJeweler.com/webinars.
