SBA offers webinar on handling disaster-related losses

The year 2015 began with a powerful nor’easter dumping several feet of snow in Massachusetts, forcing major road closings and flight cancellations in the Northeast. In October, heavy rains in the Charleston, South Carolina area resulted in flooding with widespread losses. The year is ending with deadly tornadoes, floods and snow.

Factors like these cause financial losses to small businesses every day. A solid business continuity plan will protect your organization and your assets while ensuring a quick recovery when a disaster occurs.

Topics include:

• A retrospective of major disaster events in 2015 causing business interruptions

• Steps and tools your organization needs in order to be prepared

• Actionable ideas that can be applied today to increase your organization’s preparedness
