Preparedness for Micro & Small Businesses

Preparedness for Micro & Small Businesses

(1-50 Employees)

 

Challenges: 

  • Micro & small businesses are challenged to balance limited resources (time, people, budget) with business demands.

  • Traditional preparedness and business continuity has not focused on small business so most tools, systems, and training were not designed to fit the needs of small business.

  • Small businesses tend to incorrectly believe that disasters won’t happen to them or there is nothing they can do to prepare.  Less than 25% of SMBs total take any preparedness actions at all which contributes to the fact that they have the lowest survival rate of any business after a disruption or disaster.  Even small incidents can put a small business out of business.

 

Recommendations: 

Micro & small businesses should implement simple and flexible preparedness steps that: 

  • Provide large gains for small investment of time and resources focused on the most likely 3-5 threats.

  • Utilize self-guided tools and easy to use checklists in times of crisis.

  • Focus training on basic preparedness and response to protect customer and employee safety from the most likely threats.

  • Ensure basic legal compliance.
