Open for business self-assessment
- Are you concerned that your normal business operations might be interrupted by a natural or human-caused disaster?
- Have you determined what parts of your business need to be operational as soon as possible following a disaster, and planned how to resume those operations?

- Could you communicate with your employees if a disaster happened during work hours or after work hours?
- Can your building withstand the impact of a natural disaster, and are your contents and inventory sufficiently protected so they will not be damaged?
- Are your vital records protected from the harm that could be caused by a disaster?
- Are you prepared to stay open for business if your suppliers cannot deliver, your markets are inaccessible, or basic needs, such as water, sewer, electricity and transportation, are unavailable?

- Have you worked with your community, including public officials and other businesses, to promote disaster preparedness and plan for community recovery?
