Storm Occurrence Services (SOS) offers services to secure houses and properties when major storms are forecast for an area. They do such things as fasten plywood over windows, install pumps and generators, trim and brace trees, etc. They keep an inventory of trailers, tools and supplies year round which incur annual maintenance and repair costs. Additional fuel and supplies are purchased locally at the time of the storm preparation. Staff are "on-call" when the storms are forecasted. Financial data is shown below.
