Planning Now for Disaster Later?
Consider this…
According to the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety, one in four small businesses closed by a disaster never re-open. It might be an auto repair shop washed away by a flood. A dentist’s office scorched by a fire. A dry cleaner hit by a tornado. There are many diverse businesses, and many types of disasters, but one thing remains the same: businesses disrupted by disaster permanently close their doors at an alarming rate.
Preparedness is key
Are you prepared to lead your business through the crisis? Preparedness is the key! By creating a disaster recovery and business continuity plan, your business can increase its recovery capabilities dramatically. A plan can help you make the right decisions quickly, cut downtime, and minimize financial losses. It can even help you avoid certain disasters through planning and mitigation measures.
The prospect of creating and implementing such a plan can be daunting, but business leaders in Tulsa have a unique opportunity to get a head start on the process by attending A Day Without Business, a business continuity summit hosted by Tulsa Partners’ Disaster Resistant Business Council.
