In the face of difficult national challenges and the ongoing threat of terrorism, many local business owners are concerned about an uncertain future, and what each of us can do to be prepared.

Business owners should be prepared for all types of emergencies. Employees should understand the need for greater training to manage a crisis.

To start the process of emergency planning, employers and workers should ask themselves the following questions:

• Do I have an updated plan of action with local police/fire/emergency services?
• What types of emergencies can I prepare for?
• What can small businesses do to survive?
• What employees need to know?
• Do I regularly communicate with local first responders?

The Monmouth County Sheriff's Office offers emergency
preparedness presentations for businesses large and small.
