Disaster-Proof Your Business: Planning for the Unexpected

Join Renae Hanvin from Resilient Ready, an expert speaker and a small business owner who helps business communities build vital knowledge and skills to keep your business (safely) trading when impacted by unexpected disasters. 

Renae knows how planning for disasters can fall down the priority list when you are busy working in you day to day business operations. But she also knows the reality of not preparing your business to get ready for future disasters. 

Learn from Renae how we are now doing business in a new era of more frequent, more impactful, and compounding challenges. From heatwaves to pandemics, power outages to storms, cyber-attacks to extremist acts – there has never been a more important time than now to think differently about your business. 

In this free session organised by the Wyndham City Council, you’ll learn quick and simple tips on how to do business better before, during and after disasters. 

Topics that will be covered:

• How you can plan for 80% of disasters at once
• Why you need to know your essential operations
• What’s your business plan if you are out of action 
• How under-insurance can leave you with nothing
• Know what to do before the red trigger warning comes
• The first person to respond is likely the business next door
• Disaster planning can bring financial benefits
