Nearly 400,000 NJ businesses were affected, according to NJ Spotlight News.

While many people automatically associate disasters with weather events, disasters actually exist in many forms which can be equally as catastrophic to business operations. The last few years have delivered damaging and disruptive disasters including flooding, fires, civil unrest, security breaches and public health emergencies, totally changing the business landscape and hurting communities. Running a small business always presents an element of risk, but in today’s world of climate change, pandemics, economic instability and supply chain shortages, business owners need to prepare and plan more than ever.
