Disasters Happen: Prepare Now

9/10/2018 (Permalink)

As a business owner, insurer or property manager, you are a leader in your community and have the opportunity to set an example for your employees, customers and community to follow. 

This year for National Preparedness Month, join your community in preparing for emergencies and disasters of all types, and leading efforts to encourage the community as a whole to become more prepared.

As an employer in your community, having a business continuity plan can help protect your company, its employees and its infrastructure, and maximize your chances of recovery after an emergency or disaster.  You can do this by taking three simple steps:

• Plan to stay in business 
• Encourage your employees to become ready
• Protect your investment 

We must work together as a team to ensure that our families, businesses, places of worship and neighborhoods are ready. At Ready.gov/business , companies can find vital information on how to begin preparing their organization and addressing their unique needs during an emergency. You can also contact SERVPRO of Patchogue to find out more on how to be ready when a disaster strikes with the Emergency READY Program.
