September is National Preparedness Month
September 04, 2007
Agility hosting free events for third consecutive year
Agility Recovery Solutions, a leading provider of disaster recovery and business continuity solutions, is partnering with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and its National Preparedness Month initiative. National Preparedness Month is this September and is a nationwide effort to encourage Americans to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses and communities.
“When an emergency or interruption occurs, our biggest defense is preparedness,” said Bob Boyd, president and CEO of Agility. “Developing a plan and identifying preparedness and response resources within our communities are simple steps we can take to prepare ourselves, our family, business and community.”
Based on nearly 20 years of business continuity planning and recovery experience, Agility developed a four-part business continuity Web seminar series, which will be presented throughout the month of September. The goal of the series is to help businesses begin or update their business recovery plans with defined action steps to address the four key elements of recovery: power, space, technology and connectivity.
These educational seminars are open to all businesses as well as the general public. Additionally, Agility will work with its partners and team member network to encourage individuals and organizations to proactively take action in their communities to prepare for the unexpected.

“America’s businesses form the backbone of our economy; small businesses alone account for more than 99 percent of employers and provide nearly 45 percent of the nation’s payroll. Yet, these businesses are those who have traditionally been unprepared for the unexpected with an executable business continuity plan,” says Boyd. “Agility believes that every business – regardless of size – should have access to business continuity services that are simple and easy to use. National Preparedness Month is the perfect venue for us to educate businesses on the recovery resources required and available.”
