Workshop to Address Risks of Earthquakes to Small Business Economy
It’s widely understood that stronger buildings can save lives in an earthquake. Lesser known is that they can protect the economy, too.
When buildings crumble – when they are red-tagged due to damage from an earthquake – small businesses suffer, setting off residual waves of hardship that can devastate economies.
BizFed and new Pasadena Chamber member Optimum Seismic are hosting an important workshop addressing these issues, the threat of vulnerable buildings to local economies, and what you can do to protect your business.
What: Preparing Small Business for Earthquakes
When: 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 30
Where: Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, 350 Bixel St., Los Angeles
RSVP: https://www.optimumseismic.com/upcoming-events/ or 323-OPTIMUM
Lunch provided following the program
Small businesses make up the backbone of America’s local economies. Main Street USA is represented by some 28 million enterprises – each one constituting a vital cog in the engine that powers local, state and national markets.
Every shuttered business brings unemployment to a community. Every worker left homeless leaves a hole in the local workforce. The greater the damage, the more severe the devastation to trade, industry and commerce.
Attend this workshop and learn more about how to protect your business, your community and your state.
See you there!
