Ready For Anything - Continuity Planning

Event description

Continuity Planning is the first session of our 6-Part Series, Ready For Anything, designed to prepare small businesses in the New River Valley for unforeseen challenges, and to help you develop a plan to move forward once the dust settles.

Unexpected disruptions can impact any business, and as shown by Hurricane Helene, severe weather events can be especially devastating for small businesses. This session will help business owners identify the essential functions their businesses rely on and begin building a continuity plan that supports faster recovery during a crisis.

You’ll learn how to

* Identify the essential business functions needed to maintain operations during a disruption
* Define recovery priorities and continuity goals that support long-term business resilience
* Map critical resources, dependencies, and potential single points of failure
* Evaluate business risks and hazards that could impact daily operations
* Prepare key records and emergency documentation to support disaster recovery

Who should attend

This workshop is designed for small business owners and entrepreneurs in the New River Valley who want to improve their business preparedness and build strategies for responding to an unexpected emergency.

What you’ll walk away with

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of their business’s operational priorities during a crisis, along with practical tools, guidance, and worksheets for beginning a continuity planning process that supports long-term resilience.
