SAR's August Main Meeting
Disaster Preparedness: Small Business Recovery and Data Security and Retention

OPEN TO ALL SAR MEMBERS
Tuesday, August 5
9:00 – 10:30am
SAR Mack Powell Auditorium

Topic: Disaster Preparedness: Small Business Recovery and Data Security and Retention
Speaker: Kristine French, Emergency Preparedness Manager with the State of California’s Department of General Services

A recent national survey commissioned by the Office Depot found that 40% of small businesses are unprepared to face a potential disaster brought on by an earthquake, tornado, wildfire or computer virus. Over the past few years, even here in Northern California, we’ve experienced blackouts triggered by severe weather or necessitated by summer energy usage.   

"Disasters need not be weather-related events, they can include power outages, fires or loss of data due to human error,” said Jon Toigo, an technology and data storage expert hired by the Home Depot to compile a brochure entitled Expecting the Unexpected: Disaster Preparedness Strategies for Small Business.*   “Small businesses need to understand that not having a plan or back-up system in place can result in a business closing for good. A sound contingency plan can help your small business respond effectively to a crisis, and prevent that crisis from becoming a full-fledged disaster.”

 “What’s most alarming about these new survey findings is that small businesses still have strong misperceptions about what they can do to help prepare for a disaster so they will be ready to handle any potential business interruption,” said Tom Serio, Director of Global Business Continuity for Office Depot. “A $1 piece of media, like a CD-R, to store data such as contact information and important presentations, could make a big difference in being able to keep your business running. And it only takes minutes to back up your data on a regular basis.”  

Are you prepared to protect your business?  We are excited to bring a local expert, Kristine French to SAR’s August Main meeting to educate and motivate our REALTORS® and Affiliate Members to take the simple steps necessary to protect their businesses.  Ms. French will also address personal and home disaster preparedness.

*The brochure is free and available at www.officedepot.com/getprepared and is focused on helping educate businesses of the importance and ease of preparing for a disaster. Information quoted and  referenced above is from: Contingency Planning & Management (http://www.contingencyplanning.com/)
