A disaster rips through your town, power is out, businesses are closed, families are shaken, homes are destroyed, and a sense of worry is all around. This happens all the time all over the United States. Recently the floods in Iowa, tornados in Indiana, hurricanes on the coasts, and fires in California have made people think; if that is happening there it could easily happen here. Worrying about your own family’s safety is one thing, but if you are a business owner or manager you have the families of your employees on your mind as well.
When Bill Taylor took a trip to Cedar Rapids, Iowa last summer to visit a partner company, he saw that worry first hand when the company he was visiting had to evacuate their location due to rising waters. He began thinking in his mind. It was the same thought process many business owners face…what would I do if that happened where I operate my business?????????When Bill asked himself if his current disaster plan was going to ensure the 40 people he employs would be able to continue to work and provide for their families even in the event of a disaster, the answer was not as clear as he would have liked.
At that time Taylored Systems was doing back ups on discs and tapes; and then physically moving these items to off site locations. So he began to think through scenarios to determine if his plans were where they needed to be.
