Is your business prepared to survive the economic impact of a major disaster?
Are your company's valuable assets adequately protected – both physically and financially?
Is your work location properly secured from hazardous weather?
Are your employees aware of your company's emergency preparedness plan?

For many people, creating a business continuity plan can often be a difficult and intimidating process. Just knowing where to begin is hard enough. That's why STARTING POINT was developed to give the Florida business community a tool to prioritize and categorize the many steps required in developing a business continuity plan. Helping to reduce the threat of potential loss and better prepare your business to survive in the event of a disaster is the goal.

So let's get started!

"Disasters are a fact of life. The ability of businesses to plan for, and continue operations is key to helping an impacted community recover from an event and maintain economic viability."
