In the past years, North Dakota businesses have suffered extensive financial and physical damage due to blizzards, floods, tornados, and thunderstorms.

Other businesses have been hurt by human-caused hazards including accidents, acts of violence, and hacking of websites and databases.

Technology-related hazards, such as failure or malfunction of key systems, equipment or software, can also be dangerous.

Many have struggled to regain the financial and market positions they enjoyed prior to the disaster event and some have simply gone out of business. By taking the time to create a Disaster Preparedness Plan, your business will be better prepared to recover from these hazards.

September is National Disaster Preparedness Month. Join the North Dakota District Office for a free webinar on Wednesday, September 28, 2016, from 9:00am - 10:00am CT, to learn how to prepare for and successfully recover from a disaster situation.
