National Preparedness Month

9/4/2018 (Permalink)

It's National Preparedness Month! Yes that really is a thing. As a business owner, insurer or a property manager, you are a leader in your community and have the opportunity to set an example for your employees, customers, and community to follow.

   Join your community in preparing for emergencies and disasters of all types, and leading efforts to encourage, the community as a whole to become more prepared. Disasters happen and not only devastate individuals and neighborhoods, but entire communities, including businesses of all sizes.  

   As an employer in your community, having a business continuity plan can help protect your company, its employees and its infrastructure, and maximizes your chances of recovery after an emergency or disaster. You can do this by taking three easy steps:

1) Plan to stay in business

2) Encourage your employees to become ready

3) Protect your investment

   We must work together as a team to make sure that families, businesses, places of worship, and neighborhoods are ready, At Ready.gov/business, companies can find vital information on how to begin preparing their organization and addressing their unique needs during an emergency.
