Is your business impacted by a construction project? Join the Construction Support series to learn practical tools you can use immediately to prepare your business and customers while supporting infrastructure development and revitalization in our City.
What do you do when the street changes overnight?
See if this feels familiar:
• Detours appear without warning
• Deliveries get delayed or rerouted
• Customers can’t figure out how to reach you
• You’re constantly reacting instead of planning
If so, you’re likely feeling stretched thin, trying to keep up with changes you didn’t choose and can’t control.
Power of Being Prepared, this virtual, interactive webinar, helps you build a simple, practical continuity plan so you know exactly what to do when closures, delays, or unexpected disruptions hit. You’ll identify your biggest vulnerabilities and create a clear “if X happens, here’s what we do” plan to reduce panic and keep your business steady. You’ll leave with a personalized readiness checklist, customer‑ready updates, and a sense of control you may not have felt in a long time.
