What would you do if a fire, flood, server malfunction or health pandemic occurred at your office? If you had 15 minutes to evacuate, what would you take? Where would you go? How would you continue servicing your clients? Think it can’t happen to you? Statistics show that 94% of small business owners believe a disaster could seriously disrupt their business within the next two years. Are you prepared? Join Agility Recovery and our co-sponsor, the US Small Business Administration as we proudly welcome James Rivera, SBA Deputy Associate Administrator in the Office of Disaster Assistance as guest speaker for this session. Mr. Rivera will provide you with 10 easy to implement, actionable steps you can take to enhance your organizations preparedness.
Without question, most businesses will admit their most important asset is their employees. However most businesses take very little action to help their employees and their families prepare for, and recover from, disasters. During this FREE webinar, Tom Heneghan, Manager of Preparedness at the American Red Cross, will detail strategies and best practices for helping your employees prepare themselves and their families for a crisis. Individuals across the nation can take a few simple steps to become more prepared and engaged in community preparedness and response efforts.
Business interruptions happen every day across the United States. Some may be small such as a server failure; others may be catastrophic such as tornadoes or floods. Regardless of the event, business owners are oftentimes faced with difficult decisions in the aftermath of the storm. Join us for a FREE webinar as we hear directly from those who endured both natural and man-made disasters. A question & answer session will follow their riveting stories of survival and lessons learned.
