FREE WORKSHOP - HURRICANE BIZ—A NEW SEASON!

The Coastal Bend Regional Group in partnership with State Farm Insurance of Texas invite you to join us for this free 4-hour, facilitated, business table top exercise designed to build on a business' existing Continuity of Operations Plan and to help those businesses who do not have a plan to develop one. We will look at before, during and after the disaster and see where your current plan may need some work. Businesses participating in the Hurricane Biz-A New Season exercise are asked to recruit two employees who will represent your entire organization. The exercise is limited to 30 organizations on a first-come, first-served basis. To get prepared and register to participate, please go online to http://www.cbtredcross.org and click on the link (hurricane). Organizations who plan to participate in Hurricane Biz—A New Season must complete the Business Hazard Identification/Vulnerability Assessment (HIVA) found on the registration page of our website prior to the exercise. Lunch will be provided and useful door prizes such as disaster supply kits will be given away. Other Sponsors of this important program include: City/County Offices of Emergency Management * Texas Division of Emergency Management * Texas Baptist Men * Council of Governments * Texas Department of Public Safety National Weather Service * City of Brownsville * and others.
