The recent devastating earthquakes in Haiti and Chile should serve as wake-up calls for employers around the state to get their emergency preparedness plans together ASAP. Nobody disputes that the state is due for a big, potentially devastating quake of its own -- it's just a question of when.

Earthquakes and other disasters present unique challenges that can jeopardize both the safety of your workers and the continued viability of your business. But proper preparation can go a long way toward lessening the impact of such a disaster on your facilities, staff, and operations.

Join us for an in-depth webinar on July 12 all about getting prepared. You'll learn:

• The top 10 things you should do now to prepare for the worst
• Why disaster preparedness should be an integrated part of your strategic planning
• The important relationship between business continuity plans and emergency response plans
• How to evaluate the kinds of hazards your business may face
• The components of an effective emergency response plan
• How to prepare your employees in the areas of first aid/CPR training, identification of hazards, and evacuation
• What to do when an earthquake hits, and how to prioritize actions
• The supplies you should have on hand in case of an earthquake or other disaster
• How to make disaster preparedness an ongoing part of your safety routine and not a one-time project
