Business Continuity Planning

Assisting Small Businesses When Disaster Strikes

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded a grant to support five disaster economic recovery coordinator positions that work to support economic recovery efforts in Florida in the wake of Hurricane Irma. Disaster Recovery Coordinators for each locality support enhanced recovery efforts by helping coordinate the efforts of local governments, economic development organizations, and individual business. This project also provides direct assistance in navigating and accessing the numerous resources, available from multiple agencies, to aid in recovery and resilience activities.
