Small businesses are the economy of Franklin County. They provide most of the employment and generate most of the income for local folks. What would you do if the building your business is located within was damaged or destroyed in a disaster? Almost 40% of small businesses that close due to a disaster never re-open. Where would you go to continue providing your customers with your business services? Would you be prepared and have the correct resources, databases, contact information and other necessary items to adapt to these changes? Having a disaster plan that identifies important items will help ensure your business is prepared to survive during unexpected and difficult times. The Florida Division of Emergency Management has a great website that will help you create a simple, customized Business Disaster Plan at http://www.floridadisaster. org/business. Creating your plan is easy and only takes about 10-15 minutes. To begin, click "Start My Business Disaster Plan" and follow the simple instructions. Remember, the best way for your business to survive the effects of a disaster is to be prepared before a disaster happens.
The Franklin County Emergency Management Office also has a great website with helpful information.
