Business Continuity Planning

Will your business survive a disaster?  Twenty five percent of businesses never re-open following a natural disaster.  Ninety percent of businesses that are affected by a significant event are forced to close within two years.  Boonslick Regional Planning Commission can help you with each step of creating a business continuity plan.  There is no cost to you except the time it takes to complete the form.  Information and tools required to create your plan will soon be available on our website.
