National Preparedness
Month sparks city’s move to ensure the business community is
ready for a disaster
From staff reports
The
Planning and Economic Development Department (Business Services Division)
and the Compton Fire Department are sponsoring a series of seminars
and workshops to provide disaster preparedness information and resources
to local businesses. Both the Compton Chamber of Commerce and the
Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce will help host the seminars.
The sessions were commenced with the “Disaster Preparedness” Information
Panel, Sept. 4, which featured leaders in the field with expert advice
and information. (The panel closed with a Q&A session.)
Workshops will be held tomorrow, Sept. 11 at 6 p.m. and again Sept.
18 at 8 a.m. at the Compton Work Source Center. At these sessions, attendees
will be taught disaster planning and recovery processes that can be designed
specifically for their company. The center is located at 700 N. Bullis
Rd.
The keynote speaker, also an expert in the area of Disaster and Emergency
Preparedness, will close out the series on Sept. 25 at 7:30 a.m. at the
Business2Business Networking Session hosted by Councilman Isadore Hall
at the Crystal Casino and Hotel, 123 E. Artesia Blvd. in Compton.
The information panel, keynote speaker and workshop instructor will
answer questions and address concerns and issues such as:
•
How do I prepare for the “Big One?” • What is at risk? • Protecting
your building and its contents • Developing your business continuity
plan.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has designated September
as National Preparedness Month across America. National Preparedness Month
focuses on family emergency preparedness and encourages Americans to take
simple steps to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses and
schools. Therefore, the city of Compton has joined in by offering these
workshops and seminars to help prepare our businesses for the Big One (earthquake)
and other disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and wildfires
and more common events such as building fires. Businesses will be given
a valuable tool to help protect their company, employees and customers
from disaster loss.
Admission to the seminars and workshops is free and includes refreshments.
Each business in attendance will also receive a “Disaster Protection
and Recovery Planning Toolkit.”
For more information or to register for any of the workshops and/or
seminars, please contact one of the individuals below. Please note that
an RSVP is required for the B2B Networking Session.
