Top 10 Mistakes for Businesses To Avoid When Dealing With a Disaster

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Let's say you created an amazing disaster recovery plan for your small business, and you were able to reopen shortly after a ferocious storm.  Meanwhile, your employees' homes were damaged during the storm, and several roads are closed. So you're open for business minus the team that keeps your operations running.

Failure to inform and prepare your employees for disasters is one of many common mistakes entrepreneurs make when doing business continuity planning.  Not being adequately insured is another oversight that can lead to the failure of your business.  Get free tips on ways to avoid these and other costly errors at a free webinar hosted by Agility Recovery and the U.S. Small Business Administration on Tuesday, Dec. 9.  True stories about business owners' pre-disaster missteps, plans not followed and lessons learned will also be discussed.

SBA has partnered with Agility to offer business continuity strategies through its "PrepareMyBusiness" website. Visit www.preparemybusiness.org to access previous webinars and for additional preparedness tips. 

The SBA provides disaster recovery assistance in the form of low-interest loans to homeowners, renters, private nonprofits and businesses of all sizes. To learn more, visit www.sba.gov/disaster.
