Recognizing a “Commitment to Emergency Preparedness”

 BY JOSH MAZUR Co-Chair Ready Carlsbad Business Alliance (RCBA)              CARLSBAD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

In a disaster, would your business evacuate or shelter-in-place – and how would you make that decision?

Howdy, my name is Josh Mazur.  As Co-Chair of the Ready Carlsbad Business Alliance (RCBA), I’d like to invite each of you to help us get the word out about being prepared for significant business and personal disruptions.

Mary Brown, Environmental Health and Safety Manager at Viasat, accepts the Ready Carlsbad Business Alliance Commitment to Preparedness Award on behalf of the company. Also in the picture, from left to right, Carlsbad Police Chief Neil Gallucci, Carlsbad Fire Chief Michael D. Calderwood, and RCBA Co-Chair and Board member, Josh Mazur.

Strength in community stems from a desire to improve the quality of life for ourselves and our neighbors.  But when disasters occur, not having a plan or being prepared, limits our ability to respond and recover collectively.  Please take a moment to review your Preparedness Plan and talk to those close to you about it.  If you need more information on a preparedness plan you can start at carlsbadca.gov.

As a means to honor and provide examples of leaders in this area, the RCBA annually recognizes a company or organization with a “Commitment to Emergency Preparedness” award. The award is for demonstrated accomplishments and contributions that prepare employees, protect and continue business operations, and contribute to community recovery in the event of a large-scale disaster.

If you know of a company which should be recognized, please check out the details below or contact Kevin Monson at the Chamber for nomination details.
