ATF has issued a Special Advisory regarding disaster preparedness for FFL Licensees potentially impacted by Hurricane Florence. To provide further support our industry, [Orchid Advisors](http://ac.orchidadvisors.com/lt.php?s=1683f0f8605213371a03ad786325422f&i=85A163A3A746) has disaster considerations documents specifically designed for FFLs available online. These tools, available free of charge, will assist Licensees with pre and post disaster considerations and preparation for future events. While many of these considerations are focused on inventory control, security and records management, safety and guidance from your local authorities should always take precedence. ### **Access Tools & Considerations Online:** **For FFL Businesses Currently Impacted By Disaster:** - [FFL Post Disaster Considerations](http://ac.orchidadvisors.com/lt.php?s=1683f0f8605213371a03ad786325422f&i=85A163A3A755) - [FFL Business Disaster Tracking Tool](http://ac.orchidadvisors.com/lt.php?s=1683f0f8605213371a03ad786325422f&i=85A163A3A754) **For FFL Businesses Seeking Disaster Preparedness:** - [FFL Disaster Preparedness Considerations](http://ac.orchidadvisors.com/lt.php?s=1683f0f8605213371a03ad786325422f&i=85A163A3A756) ### **Other Useful Links:** **Guidance on Disaster Preparedness for Federal Firearms Licensees and Federal Explosives Licensees and Permittees (09/10/2018)** - [https://www.atf.gov/news/pr/guidance-disaster-preparedness-federal-firearms-licensees-and-federal-explosives-licensees](http://ac.orchidadvisors.com/lt.php?s=1683f0f8605213371a03ad786325422f&i=85A163A3A757) **ATF Field Divisions** - [https://www.atf.gov/contact/atf-field-divisions](http://ac.orchidadvisors.com/lt.php?s=1683f0f8605213371a03ad786325422f&i=85A163A3A758) **ATF Publication 3317.7** - [https://www.atf.gov/file/58666/download](http://ac.orchidadvisors.com/lt.php?s=1683f0f8605213371a03ad786325422f&i=85A163A3A759) ## Orchid Advisors You May Like These ## Related Articles ![](https://nasgw.org//uploads/asa-graph1.jpg#asset:3062:url) ### [Consumer Demand Was "normal" For Suppressors in 2017](https://nasgw.org/news/consumer-demand-for-suppressors-in-2017) ![](https://nasgw.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Images/2018/6-June/2018-Farm_Bill.jpg?width=700&name=2018-Farm_Bill.jpg) ### [Senate Agriculture Committee Passes Farm Bill](https://nasgw.org/news/senate-agriculture-committee-passes-farm-bill) ![](https://nasgw.org/hs-fs/hubfs/gunTalk.jpg?width=700&name=gunTalk.jpg) ### [Federal Force X2 for Home Defense Shotguns; New Turkey Loads & Handloaded Ammo](https://nasgw.org/news/federal-force-x2-for-home-defense-shotguns-new-turkey-loads-handloaded-ammo) [![nasgw-webinar-1](https://nasgw.org/hs-fs/hubfs/nasgw-webinar-1.jpg?width=300&height=131&name=nasgw-webinar-1.jpg "nasgw-webinar-1")](https://nasgw.org) [Join Now](https://nasgw.org/distribution-is-the-solution) ©© 2024 National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers All Rights Reserved.  [Privacy Policy](https://nasgw.org/privacy-policy)  101 S.
