These mats can also be used to allow the heavy vehicles to pass the thick snow during winter. The existence of these timber mats now ensures a continued operation and can somehow help in keeping the business continue its undertakings instead of implementing a work stoppage.  

Another way of recovering from a natural disaster is to have sale days or discount promos of the products that were left behind.

The entire community is in crisis and for sure they can’t afford the usual prices so they would surely love to purchase the discounted ones. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone; you would be able to help and you managed to at least continue your earnings.
