Open for Business - Disaster Planning for Small Businesses

OPEN FOR BUSINESS – Do you have plans in the event of a disaster?

All businesses should have a plan in place in the event of a disaster. Everything from a power outage to a tornado to a fire can disrupt your business. A good solid plan can help reduce the economic impact of any disruption.
• A business disaster is that point in time when you cannot provide your customers and clients with the minimum, level of goods and services they need and expect.
• Make sure you have the proper tools in place to recover once a business interruption event happens.
• Returning to business after an interruption requires strategic planning BEFORE the interruption occurs.


The three main objectives of business continuity planning are to:
(1) protect people (employees & visitors) and property
(2) at a minimum, get your critical business operations back up and running quickly
(3) minimize the amount of time you are unable to provide your goods or services to your clients and customers
