Disaster Preparedness for your Business
Presented by: Rob O'Brien, President/CEO of the 
Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce
 

Rob O'Brien has first hand experience on what business should and should not do when planning for disasters.  And although tornado damage is unusual; fire, water, and theft are far more common and can be just as devastating.  So spend an hour and learn what you need to know to protect your business if disaster strikes.

There is no cost to attend.  Lunch will be provided by Mist Rients and Nathan Horn of Edward Jones, but you must RSVP to the Chamber office by Monday, May 2.

Please call the Chamber at 918-542-4481 with any questions or to make reservations.
