Disaster Preparedness for Small Businesses Info Session + Generator Raffle

If a hurricane or flood hit your business tomorrow, would you know what to do? Join us for a free info session that will help you prepare.
About this Event

Most disaster preparedness programs are built for households. This one is built for your business.

BCIC eBridge Center and Prairie View A&M University Cooperative Extension Program are bringing together experts from the SBA, Texas Division of Emergency Management, and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension to give small business owners the information they actually need before the next disaster hits and after it does.

After the session, you'll walk away knowing:

• How to safely operate a generator to keep your business running during an outage.
• What SBA disaster loans cover, who qualifies, and how to apply.
• How federal disaster declarations work — and why reporting your business losses can help your entire community access recovery resources.
• What disaster assessment and recovery tools are available to you through Texas A&M AgriLife Extension.

Generator raffle:

Two generators will be raffled off at the event. You must be registered and present to be eligible to win.
