Are you a small business? Do you know what it takes to re-open your doors to your community after a disaster while minimizing losses to your bottom line and employees?
Created to specifically help small and medium-sized businesses, Atlas will become a knowledgeable member of your team and guide you on a unique journey toward business resilience. Working through levels and modules, you will learn to improve your preparedness by completing tasks and testing on your operational readiness, networks and relationships, leadership and culture, change readiness, and your ability to assist your people at work.
