IFMA- Continuity
 
No one schedules a weather emergency. One of the best things that you can do for your company and your employees is to ensure that a continuity plan is in place before disaster strikes. Here are some steps to take in order to make sure your company is ready for whatever Mother Nature brings your way.
 
Especially in Texas, the weather can be unpredictable. In order to combat the potential unexpected changes in weather, a continuity plan is paramount. While 92% of business executives believe that it is important to invest in preparedness, only 39% have made the investment.
 
The first step in your continuity planning process is locating and planning for your secondary site. Make sure that the location meets the needs of your company, and allows for easy transition should the need arise. Once you have the space picked out and acquired, get in touch with trusted partners who have emergency planning expertise. These partners, everything from temporary furniture to technology needs, will help to furnish your space and get it up and running quickly and efficiently.
 
With any severe weather issue, it might not only be your business that is affected, but your employees and their families as well. A second major component is to look into and plan for temporary housing options for employees, should they need assistance following a natural disaster. Whether it’s a short term or a long-term need, furnished apartments are an affordable option to keep your employees comfortable while in times on need.
 
 
Every company should have a disaster plan to ensure business continuity after a disaster strikes. Ensure that you’re working with companies that know what you need, when you need it, and can help your company get back on its feet as soon as possible.  (Link to: https://www.cort.com/furniture-rental/disaster-relief
