Most small businesses aren&rsquo;t as ready for disasters as they think. A 2026 U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation &amp; Verizon survey revealed that 69% have no disaster plan, 94% believe they&rsquo;d recover, yet 66% don&rsquo;t know the hazards most likely to impact their area. Many also assume preparedness would cost 30% of annual revenue, when the real average is closer to 5%. This session will break down what readiness truly looks like&mdash;including the four essential steps to preparedness, why planning protects both revenue and operations, and how your business can pre‑qualify for a $5,000 post‑disaster early recovery grant. Guest speaker: Kristi Tabaj grew up in Parma Heights and graduated from Valley Forge High School. Her professional experience in emergency preparedness, response, and recovery includes work as a lifeguard and wildland firefighter as well as an early responder in post-hurricane Guatemala and Puerto Rico. Most recently, she led resilience building projects with the former U.S. Agency for International Development&rsquo;s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance. Thank you to our Sponsor, Peak Technology.
