Disasters and unexpected crises can strike any business, but small businesses are often the hardest hit. Without a plan in place, a single crisis — whether it’s a fire, flood, cyberattack, or economic shock — can put your entire operation at risk. This training will help you understand why disaster management matters and how to build practical plans to keep your business running when challenges arise.
Participants will learn the key elements of an effective disaster plan, including risk assessments, emergency response steps, and recovery strategies. We’ll show you how to identify potential threats to your operations and how to prepare your team to respond quickly and calmly. Real-life examples will make it clear how proper planning reduces damage and speeds up recovery.
This session will also cover how to back up critical data, protect physical assets, and communicate with staff, customers, and partners during a crisis. You’ll gain insights into insurance considerations and government resources that can help your business bounce back faster.
By the end of this training, you’ll have practical tools and templates to start building a disaster management plan that fits your size and industry. Whether you’re an established SME or just starting out, you’ll leave this session ready to protect your business, your people, and your future.
