BBB: prepare now in case of disaster

As Hurricane Gustav makes its way into the Gulf of Mexico, your Better Business Bureau of Northwest Florida is offering the following tips for businesses and consumers.

Businesses:

1) Identify staff essential for resumption of business and keep a list of their contact information in a location that can be accessed by all key employees.

2) Devise an emergency communications plan that outlines how your business will communicate with employees, customers, vendors, the media and other audiences.

3) Develop a business interruption plan with details on how to minimize loss of jobs and business activity. Visit www.ready.gov/business or www.floridadisaster.org/business for sample plans.
