Open For Business

Did you know that almost fifty percent of small businesses that experience a disaster never reopen their doors? In fact, eighty percent of companies without a concrete, tested business continuity plan are out of business within two years after experiencing a major disaster.

Think a disaster won’t happen to you? One in five businesses (twenty percent) have suffered a disaster that resulted in suspending operations for a period of time.

Open for BusinessSM is a program of the Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), a national nonprofit initiative of the insurance industry to reduce deaths, injuries, property damage, economic losses and human suffering caused by natural disasters. The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce and IBHS have partnered to publish a special edition of the Open for BusinessSM toolkit to make it easy for you to create a preparedness plan for your company. The Open for BusinessSM guide includes forms, checklists and easy step-by-step guidance to take the guesswork out of planning.
