Are You Ready?

By David Hamann, Director of West Sales
Once again, we are dealing with a disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. And while it is originating in the Gulf, the effects of this disaster will be felt by businesses all across our nation. Many already feel the oil spill will dwarf the $81 billion in damages caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The cleanup will likely take longer, be much more difficult and cost more than it did in 2005. As many businesses in- and outside of the Gulf Region take steps to continue to do business as usual and serve their customers, the oil continues to flow. As of the time of this post, the oil is still flowing into the Gulf. No one seemed to be prepared for such a disaster.
The questions I keep asking myself include, “Are we prepared for a disaster in our business? Have we done everything we can to continue business as usual in a disaster? Would we be able to continue to serve customers who are depending on us?”
Are you and your business prepared? What are your disaster recovery plans?
Now is the time to ask those questions. Now is the time to make the necessary changes. Now is the time to find the service providers who can deliver in times like these—those companies who will be able to help you continue to serve your customers and run your business through a disaster.
Now is the time to make sure you are ready!
