Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. has given an $8,000 grant to the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce that will allow the ReadyCarlsbad Business Alliance, recently added to the Chamber's regular roster of committees, to continue serving the city's business community. The alliance develops emergency preparedness plans and other safety-related offerings.
The mission of the ReadyCarlsbad Business Alliance is to promote business emergency preparedness and response through services, educational programs and cooperative partnerships that combine business continuity with community preparedness and recovery.
The grant will allow the alliance to print a brochure to be distributed to businesses, hold at least three workshops during the year and pay for an intern that will help the alliance do research and gather information and data to put together a comprehensive business emergency preparedness plan for the community.
"We are very thankful for Air Products for this generous grant, which continues their financial support of this program," said Toni Padron, executive vice president and COO of the Carlsbad Chamber. "Their support is helping us work toward creating a more empowered business community when it comes to emergency preparedness."
The ReadyCarlsbad Business Alliance meets on the second Friday of the month starting at 7:30 a.m. at the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, 5934 Priestly Drive.
