Emergency Preparedness for Small Business
January 22nd, 2020

An emergency can endanger a business’s ability to continue operating. Statistics demonstrate that one in four businesses won’t reopen after a disaster and that while many businesses will reopen, some will fail within months of the emergency. Understanding your risks is the first step to making your business disaster-resilient. This session will guide you through the process of conducting a risk assessment and creating a plan that will give your business the best chance of surviving the storm.
