Keeping the Company Running....

Once you know how to protect and keep your employees safe, then you need to make sure your business is safe. In the case of natural or any other disaster, how will you do business tomorrow? Where is your software stored? Where is your backup of data? Do you have the updates and patches and fixes applied over the years?

How do you contact your employees?

Simply, HOW do you do business at the highest percent possible?

Create a list of all your employees and how to reach them.

Distribute copies to emergency team leaders

Setup remote call forwarding service with your phone provider – In the event of a crisis, you can quickly re-route calls to a new location

Identify places that can be used as temporary relocation facilities, make arrangements before a crisis so your company and your employees have priority if space becomes scarce.

Back up all your computer data every night and store it in a secure off site location.

Make emergency arrangements with a service provider. If your business relies heavily on computers for its day to day operations arrange with providers to have replacement equipment computers and services available.
