Frequently asked questions
Who should attend the Ready, Set, Resilient!™ workshop?
This workshop is designed for small businesses, tourism operators, rural businesses, chambers, economic development groups, and organizations supporting local resilience efforts.
Will I leave with a completed crisis plan?
No. This workshop focuses on readiness assessment, awareness, and identifying next steps rather than developing a full crisis plan. If you’re looking to build or strengthen a crisis management plan, our second workshop in the BOUNCE BACK BIZ ™ series will help. Disaster to Dynamo™ is designed to help organizations create plans they can actually use when disruption occurs.
What kinds of risks are explored?
Participants consider disruptions such as extreme weather, power outages, supply chain interruptions, workforce impacts, and other events that may affect operations.
How does this workshop fit within Bounce Back Biz™?
Ready, Set, Resilient!™ is the first workshop in the Bounce Back Biz™ program and provides the foundation for deeper resilience, planning, and response work. This workshop serves as the entry point for understanding current preparedness and resilience gaps, and it can be taken as a standalone workshop or as part of the full Bounce Back Biz™ series.
Will I receive recommendations I can act on right away?
Yes. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your current level of preparedness, practical “quick wins,” and prioritized next steps you can begin implementing immediately.
