On Monday, May 5, from 5:30-6:30 p.m., Lowndes County Emergency Management will host a Continuity of Business Workshop on the second floor of the Lowndes County Administrative Building, 327 North Ashley Street, Valdosta, Georgia. The session will be led by Lowndes County Emergency Management Director, Ashley Tye.  

Attendees will receive information that will assist them in addressing topics such as emergency plans and policies, evacuation plans, employee preparedness, crisis communication, insurance coverage determination, utility disruptions, facility security and record maintenance. Mr. Tye will also be available to answer any questions business community representatives may have related to maintaining the operation of their business during and immediately after a major event. 

Unfortunately, major disasters can result in major loss for businesses of all sizes.  Lowndes County Emergency Management would like to ensure local businesses have access to the support and information needed to respond to and recover from a disaster.
