Institute for Business and Home Safety: Open for Business®
Open for Business® is a comprehensive disaster planning toolkit. The easy-to-use guide helps business owners reduce the potential for loss should disaster strike, and reopen quickly should they be forced to close. This creates a savings for the business, and also benefits the employees and customers who rely on it.
Open for Business® includes an assessment tool and forms that helps the business determine its susceptibility to natural disasters wherever it has facilities and provides information to minimize damage. The toolkit also includes materials to help organize the business’ critical information and review its essential operations, both of which lead to development of a continuity plan.
The Institute for Business and Home Safety has also developed a free online training program for Open for Business®.
Open for Business® is available in English and Spanish.
