In the event of a disaster – would your business be able to ensure its continuity? If your offices had to temporarily close, who would inform your employees or reach out to customers? Do you have a disaster recovery plan? The best time to answer these questions is long before a natural disaster has an opportunity to affect your business. In the face of a disaster, as on any other day, you will want to ensure your customers received top-notch service. There is a wide range of disasters that could hit your area, forcing you to shut your doors temporarily to manage repairs or handle your family affairs. Tornadoes, hurricanes, a flood, or even a blizzard can cause a power outage that can affect phone lines for hours, or even days, at a time making you unreachable by your clients.
