Surviving your next business crisis

CLINTON TWP, Mich. – How quickly a company can get back to business after a natural disaster such as a fire, flood, or tornado depends on the emergency planning done today.

While recognizing that each situation is unique, an organization can be better prepared if it plans carefully, puts emergency procedures in place, and practices for all kinds of emergencies. Every business should have a plan for self-sustainment.
