Lunch & Learn "Emergency Preparedness for Businesses and Beyond"

You’ve finally achieved your dream. Don’t lose it to a power outage, fire, tornado or other disaster. If you’re not prepared, a disaster could put you and your employees at risk, possibly shutting down your business forever. Parker County Emergency Management Department including Assistant EMC Janice Stroud and Aledo Mayor Kit Marshall, Community Liaison for Emergency Preparedness will present an informative Lunch & Learn presentation on businesses large and small and the importance of disaster planning, emergency preparedness, and business continuity — thegoals are ultimately the same: to get an organization back up and running in the event of a disaster. Lunch & Learn is hosted by the East Parker County Chamber of Commerce. 

Major disasters, such as tornadoes and large-scale power outages, are rare. Smaller disasters, such as server failure, burst pipes and fires however happen every day. Companies often prepare for the worst, but forget the everyday challenges, which can be just as crippling.  

The mission of the Lunch & Learn is to assist you in developing a plan to protect your employees, lessen the financial impact of disasters, and re-open your business quickly to support economic recovery in your community.Knowing what to do before, during, and after disruptions or large-scale disasters is critical. A small investment of time now can help alleviate major challenges, and costs, in the future.
