Business Continuity
Learn how to prepare your business for an emergency or disruption to be able to maintain operations and recover quickly. Strengthening individual business preparedness helps to enhance the resilience of the entire community.
Overview
Business continuity planning helps a business continue running during a disruption and restore operations to normal with minimal impact to the business.
Disasters can have devastating effects on businesses. According to FEMA, following a disaster:
- 43% of businesses never reopen;
- 51% of businesses close within 2 years; and
- 75% of businesses fail within 3 years.
Having a business continuity plan can help your business ensure employee safety, avoid risk, improve operations, become more financially stable, protect your reputation, retain customers, and avoid lawsuits and legal liability.
