Is your business prepared?

Take this short 5-question quiz to see how prepared for an emergency your business is.

Does your business have an emergency plan?

Is your emergency plan written out or published in any form?

Do you know who has access to your emergency plan?

Have you tested your emergency plan?

Do you regularly review and/or adjust your emergency plan?

No, I do not have an emergency action plan.

Ok, you don’t have an emergency plan. Why not? We all think that we’re immune and that we’ll be able to figure it out when things happen, but the reality is that to keep your business stable, you need a contingency plan for emergencies.

No, I do not have a written Emergency plan.

Having an idea of what you need to do in your head is great, but are you going to be able to do it all yourself in the middle of a crisis? What if something happens to you? Someone else needs to pick up that ball and run with it.

 

Besides me, no one else knows the plan.

Who do you trust to back you up? Does the person or people you trust to sustain the business through an emergency know about your plan? Can they execute that plan without your help?

No, I wrote the plan but have not tested it.

You have a plan and it looks great written down. Have you tested it? If not, how can you be sure that it works?

No. The plan was tested, but that really was some time ago.

We know that life changes constantly. So does our business environment. Has your emergency plan changed with it? Are your solutions still relevant?
