Description

Could Your Business Operate Tomorrow?
Emergency Preparedness and Continuity Planning for Small Businesses

Severe weather, utility outages, cyberattacks, facility emergencies and active threats can happen without warning. Beyond disrupting daily operations, these events can put people at risk, damage your reputation and threaten your business’s long-term future. If something happened tomorrow, would your business be ready to respond, recover and keep going? 

Join Tremont Professional Services (TPS) for a practical, approachable session on preparing your business for the unexpected. You’ll learn how to:

  • Recognize potential threats and vulnerabilities 
  • Identify the critical functions your business can’t operate without 
  • Put emergency response and backup plans in place 
  • Make clear, informed decisions during a crisis 

Designed with small businesses in mind, this session focuses on cost-effective steps you can take right away to keep your employees and customers safe, reduce downtime and build a more resilient business. No prior planning experience needed. Just bring your questions!
