New Disaster Planning Guide Available
by Laura Fine, Assistant State Director

The U.S. Small Business Administration and Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. have teamed up to launch a disaster planning guide for small business owners. The 10-page guide provides information business owners need to develop an effective plan to protect customers and employees in the event of a disaster. The guide provides key disaster preparedness strategies to help small businesses identify potential hazards, create plans to remain in operation if the office is unusable, and understand the limitations of their insurance coverage.

Nationwide will make copies of the guide available to its agents for distribution. An electronic version of the guide will be available online at www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance/disasterpreparedness/index.html, and at www.nationwide.com/disaster-planning-recovery.jsp.
