WHAT IS BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING?

8/19/2019 (Permalink)

Fire and water can create commercial damage that impacts your local Long Beach business in several ways. This might include infrastructure damage, employee injuries, and loss of revenue. It is important to ensure that your business continues running smoothly, even after a natural disaster, by creating a business continuity plan.

Business continuity planning is the creation of an emergency plan by recognizing threats facing the company and ensuring that assets are protected and remain functioning. For example, a finance corporation might back-up its computer and client files offsite, providing satellite offices access to important information in the event of an emergency. Once critical business functions are identified and a plan is in place, it’s advantageous to delegate business disruption duties to specific employees.

An area that is often overlooked is damage within the supply chain. If your business relies on a sole supplier for goods or services, a fire within their building is likely to have an adverse effect on your business. As a supplier, dividing operations will lead to partial damage instead of total loss.

With a well-designed plan, we hope to see your Long Beach commercial business running smoothly. Even with preparation, SERVPRO of Downtown Long Beach / Signal Hill recognizes that emergencies happen routinely, and we are here to help restore your commercial building and minimize disruption.
