Business

Orlando is home to a wide variety of businesses and organizations, all of which are susceptible to emergencies. Therefore, it is important to be proactive and prepare your business for community hazards.

Almost 40% of small businesses that close due to a disaster event never re-open.

Orlando Emergency Management can help you and your employees prepare for emergencies by providing you with consultative and training resources.

Check out our business links or contact us today to find out how you can minimize your risk, as well as how to respond and recover quickly post-disaster.

Make a Plan and Build a Kit

Disasters can strike any time at any place. What will you do to protect yourself and your employees? How will you protect your assets? What do you do until emergency response can arrive to help?

All of these questions can be answered by developing a business disaster plan. Orlando Emergency Management can help you create a plan to keep you in business after a disaster. Contact us to find out how we can help.

You can also start developing your own plan with the Florida Division of Emergency Management business planning website.

Don't forget, a disaster kit is not only useful in your home! It is important to keep a kit in your office. Do you know what belongs in a kit? Check out our Prepare section to find out what you need in your kit and how to put one together.

Employee Training

Protecting the safety of yourself, your employees, and your customers is the number one priority of disaster preparedness. Comprehensive employee disaster preparedness training is a vital tool for successful disaster management.

Your employees should know and understand your business's disaster plan, as well as their role in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Employees should also be aware of the location of your disaster kit and how to use the resources within it.

Orlando Emergency Management can provide you and your employees with training tips tailored to meet the needs of your business.
