Free Disaster Preparedness Workshops for Small Business Owners

By  | 

 

    A free workshop series has been developed for small-business owners, nonprofits and those who prepare and respond to natural and man-made hazards. Seven workshops will be held in south Louisiana this March. Registration for each is available at centerforbusinessprep.org/news.
    Developed by LSU’s Stephenson Disaster Management Institute (SDMI) under a grant awarded by the Louisiana Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP), with funds provided by FEMA, participants will receive hands-on training and printed materials that cover all aspects of hazard mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.
    The workshop nearest Central will take place Tuesday, March 5, in Baton Rouge at the Mayor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, 3773 Harding Blvd. from 8 am-12 noon.
    Registration is limited. Breakfast and all takeaway materials are provided at no charge for this free small business training event.
