As part of Small Business Month, the NSW Reconstruction Authority (RA), in collaboration with Lismore City Council, is hosting a series of free, hands-on workshops for businesses and non-profit organisations in the Northern Rivers region.
These workshops, led by Safer Future, are designed to help small businesses create a practical Business Continuity Plan that protects their people, purpose, and operations during emergencies.
Prepare for Future Disruptions
Northern Rivers businesses have faced many tough challenges over the years — including floods, bushfires, cyclones, and unexpected power, transport, and communication outages.
Having a clear continuity plan is essential to keep your business running and serve your community after any disaster.
These interactive workshops will guide you step-by-step in building a tailored Business Continuity Plan, so your business can respond quickly and recover stronger.
