Preparing Your Business For Mother Nature

Sometimes, we have the luxury of an extended warning period when danger is looming. This week's run up to Hurricane Irene on the East Coast is a prime example. In other cases, nature's whims are a little more impulsive. Just ask anyone along the same East Coast who thought "terrorist attack" minutes before "earthquake" a few days ago.

Resources abound for what to do in case of disaster regarding home prep, a "go bag" with key documents, water, medications. Are you as prepared with your business? With Irene still days away from the NorthEast, now's a great time to take a look at what you will need to protect your business and assets AND ensure business continuity should you sustain any damage or disruption.

There is a special section of Ready.gov called ReadyBusiness that we suggest. In it are some basic check lists for business prep and continuity planning. You've worked your butt off through a major recession. Don't let a lack duplicated, distributed documents be your down fall now!
