A FREE online program for all Northern Rivers businesses and non-profit organisations will run from Monday, May 5, to mid-July.<\/p>\n

Delivered by Resilient Ready in collaboration with the NSW Reconstruction Authority, Business Beyond Disasters is a simple program designed to help business owners plan for disasters.<\/p>\n

The program also helps to build essential business continuity capabilities, find ways to collaborate to overcome future challenges and build long-term resilience.<\/p>\n

CEO and founder of Resilient Ready Renae Hanvin said it was a valuable resource.<\/p>\n

“Taking five minutes a day to get your business or not-for-profit thriving beyond disasters will help you in both the good times and challenging times,” Hanvin said.<\/p>\n

Owners can select the program options to suit their business from Retail, Professional Services and Education, Agribusiness and Aqua business, Tourism, Healthcare and Community Services, and Construction, Trades and Manufacturing,<\/p>\n

The resource provides a personalised resilience toolkit tailored to specific industries, including 10 x five-minute e-learning modules.<\/p>\n

Modules include topics such as Operating Through Disasters, Insurance Choices, Evacuation Triggers and Competitor Collaborations.<\/p>\n

Weekly online ‘check-ins’ aim to build connections with others experiencing similar challenges.<\/p>\n

Executive director of NORPA Libby Lincoln said her industry understood the power of adapting to change.<\/p>\n

“The Business Beyond Disasters program will help you think differently about how disasters can bring opportunity to you and your business,” Lincoln said.<\/p>\n

The Australian and NSW governments funded Business Beyond Disaster through the Disaster Ready Fund.<\/p>\n
