Building a More Disaster Resilient Business

Sponsored by:

October 15, 6:00pm at the Pavillion at Sentry Park

Wendy Freitag of the Washington State Emergency Management Division will present a roadmap to help businesses plan for interruptions in their business due to unforseen disaster.  While earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes and flooding come immediately to mind when we think of disasters, other unexpected events can have a similar effect on a business. The economic downturn has made businesses vulnerable to a variety of impacts such as a key vendor going out of business. A business continuity plan, if developed correctly, will allow a business of any size to rebound quickly from a variety of impacts that could otherwise be crippling.

RSVP your attendance by calling the Chamber Office: 426-2021 or by email: info@sheltonchamber.org
