The best way to deal with potential disasters that can ensure your business operates when the worse things happen is to have a plan and practical preparations in place.
One company, Dayton Ritz & Osborne, does this: Their preparations include a "$25,000 automatic electric generator, an off-site phone-answering service that incoming calls can be directed to and precut plywood shutters to protect the windows."
Others have backup computer facilities ready to go online if disaster strikes. Many have yearly meetings and disaster drills to prepare for when the inevitable may strike.
There are some that also have plans in place to evacuate employees and have alternative places for them to stay if it's too dangerous to travel home. At the same time there are other work places that are ready to be used if the worse happens.
These are simple, but effective ways to prepare for disasters. What many business owners have to do is to acknowledge that it could happen to them. To not be prepared at all could cause your business to fail. To have plans in place, and communicate those plans to your employees, is not only good for business, but can help to potentially save lives.
