To start and operate a business takes a lot of resources and energy. To see it all wiped away in an instant would be devastating. Imagine your business just suffering a major disaster. What to do and who to call?
Here are some questions that you should be able to answer without having to look them up or think to long about it. After all, in a disaster, you may not have the luxury of time to take a break. You will have to react, and without a plan, it is highly possible that you may over-react or not act accordingly.
- What do you do first?
- Do you have a response plan?
- Do you have a response team and are they available to handle the situation adequately at that moment? (If they are injured, who is their backup?)
- Do your employees know what to do in a moment of panic? If it’s a fire, do you know how to account for everyone?
- Can you restart your business tomorrow at a different (pre-designated) location?
- Do you have contact info for all of your service providers and do they have what it takes to get you get back up?
