FEMA & Your Business.

Let't talk turkey. FEMA may have to help your business recover from a disaster one day. We can't predict unexpected weather events or other emergencies. But, we can prepare for them. As a business owner, you should understand what role FEMA plays in disaster recovery. I speak more about this topic in my up coming book. However, I'm going to list the basics below with some resources. Print this document out and keep it with your other emergency related docs.
