Wanted: Your products and services
Volusia Prepares Business is actively developing a list of critical products and services that can be quickly acquired and put to use following a disaster. Do you have what we need?
The Greater Daytona Beach Chamber of Commerce and the Workforce Development Board of Flagler and Volusia Counties is working to establish a data-base of vital resources that may be of critical need to our community following a disaster. The data base can be used in a number of different ways.
First, a company that is in need of a service or piece of equipment to remain in business will have a clearing house to find the widget or gadget it needs to reopen or stay open following the incident.
Second, the municipalities and Volusia County government will be able to use the data-base to identify those resources they need within the county rather than have to request mutual aid through the State Emergency Operations Center. Jim Ryan, the Director of Emergency Management for Volusia County, says this saves time in getting the resources and keeps the money in the county. When a mutual aid request is made the money for the product or service is paid to a company located someplace else, perhaps even out of state.
Keeping companies operational and employees working is an important reason behind the creating of the data base, according to Ryan.
For information on how to be added to the resource data base, contact your chamber of commerce or contact Rick Moore or Pat White at Volusia County Emergency Management 386-258.4088back to volusia prepares business
