What are the biggest and most common mistakes business owners make when facing down a disaster event? It could be flooding caused by a big hurricane, or the loss of sensitive and vital data inflicted by a hacked account. How you respond within the first few hours of the incident can either make your company a survivor, or result in the costly failure of your business.
“Having a disaster preparedness plan is just as important as having a business plan – it can mean the difference between shutting your business down permanently versus being back in business in a few days,” said Regional Administrator Natalia Olson-Urtecho. “Now is the time for planning that will protect your employees, lessen the financial impact of disasters and help you re-open your business quickly to support economic recovery in your community.”
Get tips on how to avoid making the mistakes that could cause you to lose your hard-earned assets at a free webinar hosted by Agility Recovery and the U.S. Small Business Administration on Tuesday, Dec. 11.
