WASHINGTON, March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Most organizations know supply chain vulnerability poses a threat to their operations, yet few take proactive steps to mitigate that risk. Businesses can protect against costly shutdowns by establishing a solid and far-reaching supply chain. And even if your company doesn't rely on a long list of vendors and suppliers to create goods and perform services, this critical step in developing an effective business continuity strategy can have far reaching implications during a disaster.

Join the U.S. Small Business Administration and Agility Recovery on Tuesday, April 7 at 2 p.m. EDT for a discussion on best practices for getting your company's supply chain prepared for any kind of disaster, while also engaging partners and suppliers in the process.
