The coronavirus [COVID-19] has disrupted businesses and everyday life across America. If you are a company without an emergency preparedness and business continuity plan then you are likely playing catch up, panicking and reacting to the situation instead of proactively implementing practices to help your business manage the crisis.  From decisions about how and when to communicate with stakeholders, to managing cash flow, security, insurance, critical operations, succession, recovery and more, these plans can mean the difference between survival and failure. An investment in emergency preparedness and business continuity planning is an investment in the future of your business. 

If you don’t have a plan it’s not too late to make a difference and set your company on course. Assemble a team to identify lessons learned as you experience issues in real time and begin to develop the plans needed to survive and thrive. Like an insurance policy, well designed emergency preparedness and business continuity plans are a lifeline when facing unexpected adversity.  While not every business has the luxury to conduct business planning during this pandemic, those that can should.   #emergencypreparedness #businesscontinuity #pandemic  #crisiscommunications #hummingbirdcommunications
