SBA To Host Online Seminar For Winter Preparedness
WASHINGTON – The arrival of wintry weather brings with it many seasonal threats that can result in business interruption, from a flu outbreak that decimates your staff to flooding caused by frozen pipes that explode to an ice storm that knocks out your power.
The pending arrival of these threats makes this a good time to make a plan that will keep your business operating, regardless of what the severe weather brings. Join Agility Recovery and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) on Tuesday, Nov. 13, from 2pm - 3pm EST, for tips to mitigate winter weather risks.
