This is Week 3 of September Preparedness Month and the theme is Ready TN Business.
Every business has unique vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Knowing which disasters are most likely to affect your business can help you to return to operations faster. #ReadyToRecover
Statistics show 25% of businesses won’t open again after a disaster – don’t let your business become a part of that data.
The Ready Business Toolkit series includes hazard-specific versions for earthquakes, hurricanes, inland flooding, power outages and severe wind/tornadoes. Toolkits offer business leaders a step-by-step guide to build preparedness within an organization. Each toolkit contains the following sections:
Ready Business Workshop “How-To” Guide
This “How-To” guide explains how to plan for and deliver effective Ready Business workshops that align with the Ready hazard toolkits.

Earthquake “QuakeSmart” Toolkit
Unlike other natural disasters, earthquakes occur without warning and cannot be predicted. Much of the United States is at some risk for earthquakes, not just the West Coast, so it is important that you understand your risk, develop preparedness and mitigation plans, and take action.

Hurricane Toolkit
Many parts of the United States may be affected by tropical storms and hurricanes, resulting in heavy rains, strong winds, wind-driven rain, coastal and inland floods, tornadoes, and coastal storm surges. The Ready Business Hurricane Toolkit helps leaders take action to protect employees, protect customers and help ensure business continuity.
