If you are a small business owner, you know the benefits of having a good disaster recovery as well as a business continuity plan. Protecting your company from being shut down by a disaster, largely depends on the well-being of your clients, customers and employees, meaning without them you have no business. For this reason, at the very least, it makes business sense to help them prepare for any man-made or natural disasters. Have you considered getting an office survival kit for your employees?
As a business, you need to store all your important records offsite, have regularly updated contact information for your employees, customers and vendors as well as keep a survival kit nearby.
You should make someone in your company responsible for maintaining these lists, and for contacting everyone after a disaster. Get a survival kit that includes one gallon of water per person per day, a three-day supply of emergency food, a radio, a flashlight and a first aid kit. All of these are of course available in all of our office survival kits.
