Resources and Opportunities : Disaster Preparedness for Small Business

Getting back to business after a disaster depends on preparedness planning done today. Small 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.

The Small Business Administration has a Web site with materials and resources that can help small businesses make plans to recover from financial losses and business interruption and to protect their employees, the community and the environment.
