Disaster Preparedness for Small Business: Earthquakes and Tsunamis

Disasters can take many forms and the financial cost of rebuilding after a disaster can be overwhelming. If you’re prepared for emergencies, you’ll be in a better position to recover and continue operations should disaster strike.

Every business has unique vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Knowing which disasters are most likely to affect your business can help you to return to operations faster. A back-to-business self-assessment can help you to assess your risks for common hazards such as hurricanes, wildfires, flooding, or even cyberattacks.

This edition of the SBA Disaster Preparedness series focuses on prevention tips, planning checklists, and helpful resources specific to planning for earthquakes and tsunamis.
