We have useful tips for
getting your business ready for natural and man-made disasters.
Yeah, we know it can't happen to you. Fires, floods, lighting
strikes, terrorism, chemical spills, earthquakes, hurricanes,
tornados, droughts even blackouts don't happen to you. Get Real.
Sooner or later some kind of disaster will affect your business but
you don't have to let it put you out of business if you think ahead
and follow these steps--you can master the disaster.
Begin by creating a disaster
preparation plan for your organization.
Evaluate the types of disasters that are likely to occur to your
business. Some risks, such as flood or tornado, are obvious others
are less apparent. For example, if you raise livestock include
a plan for an outbreak of foot and mouth disease. There is
plenty of information on possible risks
available on the web. Your plan should include backup procedures,
recovery planning, insurance,
and a property list. Go get
started!
