Local businesses have been heavily impacted by the current pandemic, exposing new challenges in how we ensure our businesses carry on during a hazard event. John Carr, Program Coordinator and Instructor for the Emergency and Disaster Management program at Northwest Missouri State University, will be facilitating two upcoming workshops that will be focused broadly on business continuity (efforts taken to ensure your business can still provide services and bring in revenue regardless of it being affected by a hazard event).
The Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments and Northwest Missouri State University are teaming up to offer these Business Continuity Workshops. Topics being discussed will include basic information about emergency planning, threat and hazard identification, risk assessment, planning processes, and other preparedness efforts.
Attendees will also be able to request topics and ask questions through a pre-workshop survey. The first Business Continuity Workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, March 23, at 5:30 p.m. and is being held virtually, via ZOOM. There is no cost to attend the workshop. Those planning to attend should register online at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/business-continuity-workshop-1-tickets-139018601379.
The workshops are being funded with Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) funds that were awarded to the Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments by the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration. The second Business Continuity Workshop will be held Tuesday, April 13, at 7:30 a.m. Registration information will be released soon.
