What a week we just had in Virginia! An earthquake, a hurricane with flooding, and swamp fire smoke all in one week. If last week didn’t convince you to review, or prepare for the first time, a Business Continuity Plan (BCP), then the approaching ten-year anniversary of 9/11 should spur you to action.

The 9/11 attacks destroyed tens of thousands of vital records, irreplaceable documents and art. The businesses affected lost employee records, customer lists and many, many more documents vital to business operations. As many employers on the East Coast are undoubtedly discovering, it doesn’t take a disaster as devastating as 9/11 to cause an interruption in business. Earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and fires are just a small sample of the very real disasters that can strike your business. Are you prepared to pick up the pieces?
