If disaster – small or large – were to strike, would your organization be prepared? Would managers and employees know what to do in the event of an emergency?

The risk is real: According to FEMA, “roughly 40-60 percent of small businesses never reopen their doors following a disaster.” We can’t stop catastrophes from happening, but we can minimize the impact with thoughtful planning and preparation.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
— Benjamin Franklin

This hands-on session will lay the groundwork for:

  • Evaluating your current disaster readiness
  • Developing a comprehensive emergency plan
  • Preparing for quick implementation when disaster strikes

This two-hour workshop includes lunch.
Seating is limited; registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
