How quickly can your business be up and running after a disaster? Will it be open at all? A natural catastrophe (e.g., earthquake), power outage, storeroom flood or any number of unanticipated business interruptions could mean big trouble for your company’s bottom line and competitive advantage. http://www.rcrda.us/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=158

Learn how to help your small to mid-sized business reduce the potential for loss, and find out how you can prepare in advance to reopen quickly should you be forced to close.

The Business Disaster Recovery Workshop, which is presented by the City of Rancho Cucamonga Emergency Management Program and the Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency, will provide attendees with information on the steps that can be taken to protect businesses and their employees before, during and after a disaster.

The workshop will also show business owners how to find accurate information during an emergency; protect critical company resources; develop a “business continuity plan” and access financial assistance that may be available for businesses after an emergency.

Workshop attendees will receive materials and resources to help their businesses prepare, and professional instruction from a representative of the City’s Emergency Management Program. The Business Disaster Recovery Workshop is free, but registration is required.

Businesses interested in attending may register online (www.RCRDA.us/workshop), or at the link below. Registration closes September 27th.
