ARE YOU READY?

TIS THE SEASON FOR SNOW STORMS ,ICE STORMS, FLOODS, POWER FAILURES, ROOF COLLAPSE, FLU and other assorted disruptions.

We see horrifying images on the news everywhere, devastating snow storms, ice storms, sleet, tornados, huge traffic pile ups, crumbled buildings, sink holes, mall shootings, school shootings, workplace violence, accident’s in the work place.  Are you and your employees prepared to be safe and to rebound from these unforeseen occurrences. Will your business survive to continue?

Planning is one of the most important functions a business owner performs.  You have a marketing plan, a business plan, but what about a Business Continuity Plan/ Disaster Plan?  What would you do and how would you respond if your business caught fire and burned to the ground.  Every 6 minutes fire departments across the country respond to a fire. Each year there are billions of dollars in damages to businesses from fires and other perils.

The United States Bureau of Business Statistics has reported that 49% of businesses that suffer a substantial loss or interruption of business will not reopen for business.  Of those businesses that reopen 24% will fail within the first year. Those businesses that have planned for the unexpected have about a 75% success rate of resuming business and succeeding.

The US Department of Homeland Security has recommended NFPA 1600 DISASTER EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT & BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANS as the national standard for emergency planning for Businesses and Corporations. We have the knowledge and experience to assist you in complying with these standards and developing your plan to respond to and recover from un-foreseen occurrances.    Call today before the emergency occurs!
