The Disaster Preparedness Summit April 16, 2009

Did you know that one in four businesses experiencing a major emergency fails? According to a study by The Advertising Council, less than half of America's business owners have an established, comprehensive disaster preparedness plan in place. As the number of declared emergencies has more than doubled in the past few years, being prepared is more important than ever.

Knowing exactly what to do in the event of an emergency will ensure that your business remains alive and intact. Either for a major natural disaster or a localized emergency, it is crucial to prepare your business for an interruption of any size. Investing in a disaster preparedness plan now will save you time and money later. Furthermore, establishing a thorough emergency plan will increase your credibility with your clients, vendors, and community.
