Business Continuity Plan

According to FEMA, 40% of small businesses will close immediately after a natural disaster and another 25% will close within a year. Tip the odds in your favor by working on your business continuity plan today.

The first step in creating your continuity plan is to identify your risks and prepare for the worst. In the Pacific Northwest, we prepare for a Cascadia Subduction Zone event which predicts a magnitude 9.0+ earthquake sometime in our future. By preparing for ‘the big one’ you will also be ready for the smaller, yet still disruptive, events such as extreme weather and prolonged power outages.

After considering your risks you will begin to develop a plan which includes preparing your employees. By investing in employee emergency preparedness training and encouraging your staff to keep and maintain an emergency preparedness kit at home, they will be able to recover quicker, return to work sooner and help you get your business back on its feet.
