Emergency Preparation
Be Aware and Be Prepared!
It’s a reality of today’s world that disasters of all types have become far too frequent. We are facing the damaging effects of climate change and a global pandemic has demonstrated the fragility of our society, while wildfire, earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes are a persistent threat
Faced with these challenging realities, you need to ask yourself:
- Are you and your employees prepared for disaster?
- What happens to your business when the power grid goes down?
- Do you have adequate insurance to cover potential loss of property and business contents?
- Are your important business documents and finances stored safely in the cloud?
- Do your employees know what to do in the event of an emergency?
- Does your HR department have employee contact information stored off-site?
At West Center we have seen first-hand how businesses struggle to recover following a natural disaster and how lack of planning for an emergency hinders the return to full operations. To help address this issue, we have developed a customizable emergency preparation training program that will enable you and your employees to develop a disaster recovery plan specifically tailored to your particular business.
