Office
Is your
home business protected in case of a disaster?
Do you and
your family have a disaster recovery plan in place?
You need
one ... especially in today's time with the constant threat of
hurricanes, natural disasters, pandemics, even computer viruses
that can destroy your system. Even an unexpected trip to the
hospital could effect your business, prepare now.
Our book takes you
step by step in preparing your business, your home, and your family in
the case of a disaster. Don't wait until it's too late.
Think about this.
If something were to happen today, would others know how to get a hold
of your clients?
Would they
know where your client files are and back-ups of your system?
How about your passwords, even to get in your computer?
What about
the work that you do, could someone take over or at least alert your
clients that it is taken care of.
How about
your insurance papers, contracts, wills and trusts, where are they?
Are they safe from storm elements?
And for
family members, who should they contact in case of an emergency?
What medicines do you and family members take and how often do you
take them? Do you have any medical conditions that others should know?
This advance preparation can save your life.
And these
are just a few of the things that are covered in the Home Office
Recovery Plan.
Home Office Recovery
provides the steps you need to take to ensure the safety of your
business and your home.

A
little preparation makes
it easier to ride out the storm August 22, 2007 - 9:31AM
- Hurricanes can be scary. Knowing what to eat and
how to prepare it ensures no one goes hungry. “Buy foods that you
know your family enjoys,” said Diana Ennen, author of the Home
Office Recovery Guide: Disaster Preparedness for Your Home Business,
and a survivor of Hurricane Wilma, where her family coped with no
electricity for a month.
The Home Office Recovery Plan is definitely one to read through
and then take action. It could be your home that suffers, be it from
a natural disaster (earthquake, hurricane, flood) or "smaller" scale
disasters such as fire. Properly prepared, your Disaster Plan will
see that you and your family have everything you need to submit to
insurance companies, and to get your lives back up and running in no
time flat.

Essential
Tips on Disaster Preparedness
If
you haven’t prepared a disaster
recovery plan, now is the time to do so.
Diana Ennen,
co-author of
Home Office Recovery Plan: The Disaster Preparedness Guide for
Your Home Business witnessed eight hurricanes
in Florida including a direct hit from Hurricane Wilma. Ennen
advises, "Being prepared for a hurricane or any natural disaster
takes away the stress and anxiety. When timing is critical, I
want to focus on the safety of my family, not on taking an
inventory of my business, or deciding where I need to go. I
also need to know that my family members will know how to find
me after the disaster.”
Here are some
steps to take to prepare:
Step One --Identify a safe place for everyone to meet. This
pre-determined place should be discussed with family members
prior to an emergency. A second location should be discussed.
Also, out-of-town relatives should be advised of this location.
Additionally, each person should have a list of phone numbers
for immediate neighbors and family members. 3X5 index cards
work well.
Step Two – Take an inventory now. Write down insurance
policies including insurance company and contact information,
policy numbers, group numbers, date of births, coverage, etc.
Write down an inventory of valuables. Take photos.
Step Three - Write down all your company information,
insurance information, attorney and accountant information,
personal and family information and have a designated person who
knows where it is. Don't forget your web information and
hosting company.
Step Four - Protect your data -- Back-up all your files
and keep a copy off site. Pay special attention to client
files.
Step Five-- Write down a complete family medical
history. Include any medical conditions, medicines and dosages,
doctors names and contact information, where medical records can
be found, etc. Be specific. A life can truly depend on this
one step alone.
Step Six – Get a copy of all important information,
wills, trusts, mortgages, deeds, birth certificates, contracts,
medical records, even household bills to help get things
restored quickly, etc. Back-up your computer. Get extra cash.
Often ATMs are down so cash is needed.
