The actual number of declared major disasters or emergencies has more than doubled in the past few years. Small to medium sized businesses are more susceptible to the long-term effects of a serious emergency than any other financial sector. According to a study made by ‘The Advertising Council’ less than half of America’s small business owners said they actually had a disaster or emergency preparedness plan in place. Knowing exactly what you are going to do when something like this happens to your business will keep your business alive and intact. You have to stop thinking that you do not have the time, workforce, or money to prepare your business. Maybe your current plan is placing too much emphasis on dramatic or worst-case scenarios – as if these were the only possible disasters which may occur. Having a plan and knowing you are ready increases your credibility with your current and new customers, vendors, and the community. Make our seminar the first step in becoming honestly comfortable with your current state of emergency preparedness. http://www.disastersummit.org/comment.php?comment.news.
