What are the biggest and most common mistakes business owners make when dealing with a disaster? Whether it’s property damage caused by a flood or the loss of sensitive data thanks to a hacked email account, how you respond within the first few hours of the crisis can make or break your small business.

Get tips on how to avoid the costly mistakes that could put the safety of your clients and your organization at risk at a free webinar hosted by Agility Recovery and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) on Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2-3 pm (EST).
