Consider this, almost 40% of small businesses that close due to a disaster event never re-open. What would you do if the building your business is located within was damaged or destroyed in a disaster? Where would you go to continue providing your customers with your business services? Would you be prepared and have the correct resources, databases, contact information and other necessary items to adapt to these changes? Having a disaster plan that identifies these important items will help ensure your business is prepared to survive during unexpected and difficult times!
Over the next few minutes, you will be asked to provide information about your business including your business location, suppliers you depend on, and vital records you use to operate each day. Using the information you provide, this website will create a customized Business Disaster Plan that you can print out and save for future emergencies.
Included in your plan will be:
Steps you can take to save time and money in preparing your business for a disaster.
Important contacts and information in your area for use in a disaster.
Checklists of important steps to take before, during, and after a disaster!
Remember, the best way for your business to survive the effects of a disaster is to be prepared before a disaster happens. Creating your plan is easy and only takes about 10-15 minutes. To begin, click "Start My Business Disaster Plan" below and follow the simple instructions!
