Small businesses: Do you need help planning for a future disruption? A large storm or flooding event can wreak havoc on Cape Cod's small businesses. In recent years, local businesses on Cape Cod have faced unprecedented economic challenges. A program sponsored by Barnstable County's Cape Cod Cooperative Extension and Woods Hole Sea Grant aims to help Cape Cod small businesses develop plans to respond to and recover from disasters and build resilience in advance of an emergency. This “business continuity” program builds on research-based frameworks, tools, and checklists created in 2021 to help Cape Cod business owners recover from the COVID-19 experience and catalyze preparation and response plans for future disasters. Twenty businesses will be selected to participate in the program, which provides 1-on-1 technical support to build a business resiliency plan.
