Business Disaster Management Plan-on-a-Page

Somerset Regional Council has a strong focus on economic development, business resilience and disaster recovery. We recognise both the opportunities and challenges within our community. We are committed to supporting businesses in achieving their potential. Many initiatives are in place to drive this, including the Regional Economic Development Strategy and Somerset Tourism strategy.

Through the appointment of a Business Recovery Officer, we aim to know, understand and assist our local businesses through good and tough times. 

As part of our commitment to Somerset businesses, we are delivering a practical tool to enhance business resilience and assist in swift recovery. This plan-on-a-page is a guide to what can go wrong, what you can do about it and where you can find help and information.

Hang it up in your office, discuss it with your staff, practice what you would do. Together we will work to get through tough times and build our businesses into the future.
