Event Description:
The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) has indicated that upwards of 40% of small businesses never reopen their doors following a disaster, and another 25% fail within one year following such a disaster.
This all-day, highly interactive workshop is for small and medium-sized business leaders. Even if your organization has done a business continuity plan, bring it to this workshop and see where these might be improved. Participants will develop the knowledge and skills to plan for possible work stoppages due to extreme weather events and help ensure that they get their businesses up and running as quickly as possible after such an event. Leaders of enterprises that survived large storm events such as Irene, Katrina, and Sandy will share lessons learned and offer tips for preparedness.
Scott Cave, an expert in business continuity planning, will take participants through exercises that will allow them to apply and tailor the framework to their own particular situation.
Participants will learn how to:
· Assess enterprise preparedness
· Understand and operationalize the 4 P’s of preparedness
· Develop a business continuity plan
Participants will leave the workshop with:
· Understanding of historical changes in the frequency and scale of weather events
· How to best respond to the uncertainty of projected future climate trends
· The vulnerability of systems that necessarily support a business
· The consideration of supply chains at multiple scales
· How to frame a continuity plan in light of extreme weather and sea-level rise
