Agility will offer four free disaster recovery webinars throughout the month for organizations and individuals to learn more about emergency planning in their workplace, communities and homes. Topics include:. Sept. 3, 2008 – 10 Steps to Business Preparedness Sept. 10, 2008 – The Human(e) Side of Crisis Management Sept. 17, 2008 – How Effective is Your Business Continuity Plan? Be Informed! Sept. 24, 2008 – Give Back! Easy Steps to Help Prepare Your Community Webinars are at 2 p.m. EDT and will feature nationally-known experts. “America’s businesses form the backbone of our economy; small businesses alone account for more than 99 percent of all companies and provide nearly 45 percent of the nation’s payroll,” said Bob Boyd, president and CEO of Agility, a provider of disaster recovery services throughout North America. “Yet, these businesses are the ones who have historically been unprepared in regards to business continuity plans. “We believe that every business – regardless of size – should have a disaster recovery plan in place so that they can stay in business. National Preparedness Month is the perfect venue for us to educate the general public on the basics of disaster recovery and business continuity planning.”
