Businesses can do a lot to prepare for the impact of the many hazards we face in todays world both, Natural and Man-made.
A few facts
▪ ▪ 2012 ▪ 186 Billion Dollars Worldwide for Disasters 119 Billion Dollars in the United States for Disasters 77 Billion Dollars in insurance claims in the United States. Since 2000, Southern Illinois (Region 11) has averaged a Federal Declaration on an average 1 in every 16 months
A few more facts……. 40% of businesses affected by a natural or man-made disaster, never re open. According to an Ad Council survey – 62% of respondents indicated they do not have an emergency plan in place for their business. Larger businesses are now asking suppliers about preparedness programs. Insurance is only a partial solution – insurance will not replace customers.
Its not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when Ready Business is a resource for businesses to use to help them develop a preparedness program and by providing tools to create a Business Continuity Plan.

Because of a variety of factors……
Costs associated with disasters Frequency of disasters Increasing need to be prepared
….we have seen the publication of the following
Presidential Policy Directive/PPD-8
“This directive is aimed at strengthening the security and resilience of the United States through systematic preparation for the threat that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation, including acts of terrorism, cyber attacks, pandemics, and catastrophic natural disasters. Our
national preparedness is the shared responsibility of all levels of government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and individual
citizens. Everyone can contribute to safeguarding the Nation from harm. As such, while this directive is intended to galvanize action by the federal Government, it is also aimed at facilitating an integrated, all-of-Nation,
capabilities-based approach to preparedness
”. Barack Obama President of the United States
Community Emergency Response Network
"Perhaps the most important initiative we must undertake, regardless of the budget environment, is to recognize our efforts are part of an interconnected plan of action. This "Whole Community" approach
to emergency management provides the appropriate framework for leveraging the expertise and
resources of our stakeholders at all levels, both governmental and non-governmental.
We know of the great capacity of individuals to care for their families, friends, neighbors and fellow community members, making our citizens force multipliers rather than liabilities. Together, we make up the whole community, and we all have an important role to play. We must engage all of our societal capacity, both within and beyond FEMA, to work together as a team. Through engaging the "Whole
Community," we maximize our limited funding and leverage the capabilities of our partners, who play a critical role in the process.
A "Whole Community" approach is a valuable efficiency and cost-saving tool; yet more importantly, it is critical to our collective effectiveness to succeed in preparing for, protecting against, responding to, recovering from, and mitigating all hazards.“ - W. Craig Fugate Administrator - FEMA
