Having a plan for what to do if your business suffers a natural disaster or other emergency (such as a break-in, prolonged power loss or a pandemic just to name a few) makes sense.

Of course most business owners are too busy with the demanding day-to-day tasks of running a business to think about planning for unpredictable events so many never get around to creating that plan.

MyBizShield, an iPad App developed by the Australian government, simplifies the process by walking businesses through the elements needed to create a recovery plan. 

The App allows business owners to access emergency planning information at any location, any time and for any emergency business owners in Australia can begin planning for the worst, along with hoping for the best

To download the MyBizShield iPad App, visit the iTunes App Store.

If you don’t own an iPad you can create an emergency plan by downloading the template and guide at the busines.gov.au site.
