The Time Is Now!

America's businesses form the backbone of the nation's economy; small businesses alone account for more than 99% of all companies with employees, employ 50% of all private sector workers and provide nearly 45% of the nation's payroll. If businesses are ready to survive and recover, the nation and our economy are more secure. A commitment to planning today will help support employees, customers, the community, the local economy and even the country. It also protects your business investment and gives your company a better chance for survival.

Storms In The Southern States Are We Ready!

Businesses in New England, given the frequencies of hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, severe flooding, and those at threat for a mass pandemic should take the threat seriously and prepare accordingly. Every company should work to implement a central database they can refer to - in the event that an emergency should arise. The age old saying goes, ‘hope for the best, but prepare for the worst”.

Tornado damage

LAFAYETTE, Tenn. - Residents in five Southern states tried to salvage what they could Wednesday from homes reduced to piles of debris, a day after the deadliest cluster of tornadoes in nearly a decade tore through the region, snapping trees and crumpling homes. At least 50 people were dead. Twenty-six people were killed in Tennessee, 13 killed in Arkansas, seven killed in Kentucky and four killed in Alabama, emergency officials said. Among the victims were Arkansas parents who died with their 11-year-old daughter in Atkins when they stayed behind to calm their horses. The community, one of the hardest hit, is a town of about 3,000 approximately 60 miles northwest of Little Rock.
