Webinar - Disaster Preparedness for ND Businesses (Sept 16) 

The North Dakota District Office of the Small Business Administration (SBA) is partnering with the ND Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) to offer a free webinar to help organizations prepare for and successfully recover from a disaster situation.

In the past years, North Dakota businesses have suffered extensive financial and physical damage due to blizzards, floods, tornadoes, and thunderstorms.  Other businesses have been hurt by human-caused hazards including accidents, acts of violence, and hacking of websites and databases.  Technology-related hazards, such as failure or malfunction of key systems, equipment or software can also be dangerous.  Many have struggled to regain the financial and market positions they enjoyed prior to the disaster event and some have simply gone out of business.  What could these businesses have done to better prepare for recovery from these hazards?  By taking time to create a Disaster Preparedness Plan.
