Survive a Business Disaster with a Business Ready Plan

8/20/2020 (Permalink)

A disaster can put you out of operation—and even close your doors forever. Prevent that with an emergency preparedness plan.

Would you know—step by step—what to do to save your business and quickly resume operations after a flood, fire, biohazard contamination, hurricane, tornado or other natural disaster? (And it’s not just natural disasters: human-caused hazards include accidents, acts of violence and acts of terrorism, while technology-related hazards include the failure or malfunction of systems, equipment or software.)

After a disaster, close to half of all businesses shut down. Help your business be one of the survivors in case of disaster by having an emergency preparedness plan—a Business Ready Plan—in place.

The Business Ready Plan provides an immediate plan of action that will help managers and owners of commercial property minimize business interruption after a disaster. You’ll know what to do, how to do it, what resources to call on and how to communicate and make decisions in case of emergency, when quick action counts.

How It Works

As you develop a Business Ready Plan for your business, you create a clearly defined plan of action to take in case of emergency, with the goal of minimizing business interruption and maximizing your odds for survival.

Your no-cost Business Ready Plan includes:

• An assessment of your facility and normal business operations.
• Creation of a concise Profile Document with the most critical information needed in the event of an emergency.
• A step-by-step plan to help you restore operations following a disaster.
• Identification of your preferred disaster mitigation and restoration provider, so that you don’t waste valuable time researching contractors and getting quotes after a disaster.
• Development of the chain of command for making decisions and authorizing work.
• Identification of key facility details, such as shut-off valve locations, mechanical system details and priority areas of the building for rapid restoration.
