You may frequently find yourself saying, “I’m too busy!”
“I don’t have enough time!” “I can’t get everything done!” “I

As summer turns to fall, it’s easy to get caught up in seasonal
activities like choosing Halloween costumes, picking apples
and pumpkins, or for small business, even getting ready for
the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

But if a
disaster struck your business, would you be ready? Seasonal
changes provide an ideal time to check your business’s emergency
preparedness plans, especially for weather-related emergencies.
FEMA reports that between 40 and 60 percent of small businesses
never reopen following a disaster.
