Consider the following:
An estimated 25 percent of businesses do not reopen following a major disaster, according to the Institute for Business and Home Safety.
The number of declared major disasters more than doubled in the 1990s.
A business can be hurt indirectly when disaster strikes customers or another business, such as a supplier or distributor.
OSHA requires that most businesses with 10 or more employees have a written emergency plan.
The realities of a post-9/11 world and an increasing dependency on computer technology call for additional protection of business operations.
The 9/11 Commission emphasized the critical importance of preparedness in protectecting business assets and safeguarding employees’ lives.
