Emergency Preparedness

Getting back to business after a disaster depends on preparedness planning done today. Business owners invest a tremendous amount of time, money and resources to make their ventures successful, and yet, while the importance of emergency planning may seem self-evident, it may get put on the back-burner in the face of more immediate concerns.

For small business owners, being prepared can mean staying in business following a disaster. An estimated 25 percent of businesses do not reopen following a major disaster, according to the Institute for Business and Home Safety.

Being prepared means being ready for any kind of emergency, be it severe weather, utility disruption or manmade disaster.

"Ready Business" is a Federal Emergency Management Agency resource that will help you prepare, plan and stay informed.
