Business and
Industry Continuity Planning Training, September 15th
Being prepared in the event of a
disaster can make the difference between being shut down for a few days and
losing employees and customers, or worse—complete loss of your business. Of all
businesses that close down following a disaster, it is estimated that more than
40% never reopen. Unless businesses protect their resources from disasters, they
risk losing it all. A small investment of time will go a long way toward
averting serious damage to any business and help minimize the disruption a
disaster can cause. In partnership with the University of Missouri Extension and
your local Chamber of Commerce, the Missouri Department of Economic Development
is pleased to offer a free training course to engage your company in business
continuity planning to help identify what needs to be done to protect your
resources and your business in the event of a disaster.
Please watch this very short video on You Tube about the training session and
follow the directions in this email below to register.
