Saf-T-Net(TM) Ensures Business Continuity for the Small Business

Leading the way in providing emergency planning for small businesses, Triangle Resource Group, Inc. (TRG) today announced that it has reached agreements with the North Carolina Bar Association and the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce to provide customized emergency management plans and emergency support services for their members.

The Saf-T-Net service delivers an initial Emergency Management Questionnaire (EMQ) to each business to gather mission critical information, and then creates a customized Emergency Management Plan (EMP) specific to that business. The custom-designed EMP is an easy-to-understand, comprehensive plan for the small business owner to follow in case of emergency. TRG reviews this plan with the customer on a monthly basis to keep it current. Saf-T-Net also provides secure enterprise data backup services and other optional services for specific needs.

The Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce and the North Carolina Bar Association join the National Business Association, the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy, the Washington, DC Chamber of Commerce, and many other prominent groups already advising their members to adopt emergency planning as a core business planning function. "Now, more than ever, businesses of all types and sizes must be prepared to deal with emergencies," said Tom Purdy, Information Technology Director for the North Carolina Bar Association. "Small businesses are particularly vulnerable due to the lack of knowledge and resources required to put together a comprehensive emergency plan. The Saf-T-Net emergency services plan gives our members an economical solution. Should an emergency impact a member's business, there will be an easy-to-follow plan of action that will keep the business running."

"Emergency planning is no longer optional for today's businesses," said Robert Bruce, President of Triangle Resource Group. "Business owners don't want to think that a disaster could impact the businesses they have worked so hard to build, so they often rely on hope, luck, and chance to deal with unexpected emergencies. Worse yet, the small business, comprising 98% of businesses in the U.S., really has had no place to turn for an economical solution to this burgeoning need. Saf-T-Net answers the call by providing emergency planning services specifically designed for small businesses - at a price they can afford."
