When disaster strikes, some businesses close their doors — and never reopen.
Others are ready.
In Barbados, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have faced back-to-back shocks, from volcanic ash blanketing Bridgetown to Hurricane Beryl’s storm surge. For many, these moments became a turning point.
This video shows why a business continuity plan is more than paperwork — it’s a lifeline.
By starting small, meeting regularly, assigning clear responsibility and learning from each shock, businesses are building plans that protect staff, guide quick decisions, and help operations restart when it matters most.
💡 Preparedness isn’t about size. It’s about responsibility.
And no business is too small — or too big — to be ready.
Will your business be prepared when the next disaster hits?
