Plan to Stay in Business

Just like it is important to have a plan for your family, businesses need to prepare for the impact of a disaster. Natural hazards like floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, pandemics and manmade hazards like accidents and terrorism can impact your bottom line. By planning now, you can take steps to possibly prevent interruption of services and ensure you are ready to take steps needed to re-establish full operations as fast and smoothly as possibly. Lost revenues plus extra expense means reduced profits. Insurance does not cover all costs and cannot replace customers who go to your competition.
