| Small business disaster planning resource now available in Spanish
The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce estimates there are more than 2.5 million Hispanic owned businesses in the US that generate more than $388 billion in revenue annually. "Businesses of all sizes and types need to plan for the unexpected in order to survive when disaster strikes," said IBHS President and CEO Julie Rochman. "Small businesses are particularly vulnerable, because they typically operate on thin margins. Unforeseen interruptions - even for just a few days - can be devastating to a company. "Every business owner or manager should have access to easily understandable information that can enable them to keep their doors open, providing jobs and acting as an asset to its community in the aftermath of a natural or man-made disaster. Toward that end, we are proud to release this new Spanish-language version of Open for Business." Free single copies of the Open for Business toolkit in English or Spanish are available by emailing info@ibhs.org or by calling toll-free 1-866-657-4247. http://www.disastersafety.org/business_protection/
