* Your most critical employee becomes ill and requires an extended absence?

* Your computer hard drive (or network) crashes?

* You become primary care giver for a sick family member?

* You become ill and can't manage your customer commitments?

* Your business becomes inaccessible because of an emergency on your street?

What would you do?

Would your business survive? What would you grab if you had to leave your business quickly? After emergency, how would you communicate with your employees? Customers? How long would it take to get back to business as usual?

Without a disaster plan, you'll have a harder time getting back to work. Most businesspeople think it will just take two or three days. That's tough to do if you have no plan for action and little money to move forward. The reality, experts say, is more like several months and at least 25 percent of businesses that experience a disaster never reopen.

But most small business owners just don't make time for planning. We think it's "never going to happen to us." It could. The time to formalize a game plan for an emergency is before it happens. Do it now.
