Plan: Business Resiliency Planning

• Preparing employees for emergencies 

• Being proactive with financial management 

Business Disaster Recovery Plan - Is your business prepared to respond to a severe weather emergency? Some businesses that must close after a major disaster may never open again. Our goal is to help businesses continue to perform the most critical operations, which will help reduce short- and long-term losses to your bottom line. It’s important to have a plan and the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety has made disaster planning easy.
