As small business owners, we are reminded of the inevitable "What if?" If a natural disaster where to hit your area, would your business survive? Do you have a disaster recover plan? Could you operate remotely? Is your office set up so that your employees could telecommute, if necessary?
Way back when, I had written an article of Disaster Recovery after a virus had crashed my computer network. It offers a few tips on remaining "Open for Business." An estimated 25 percent of businesses do not reopen following a major disaster, according to the Institute for Business and Home Safety.
September is National Preparedness Month over at the SBA. The Agency offers materials and resources on its Web site 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 after a natural disaster. In addition, the SBA has pledged to position loan officers in federal and state disaster recovery centers.
