Whether you are a business owner, a manager or an employee, having a disaster recovery plan is key to your bottom-line and livelihood – and, most importantly, the welfare of your fellow employees.  Did you know: As many as 40% of small businesses do not reopen following a major disaster like a flood or earthquake?
