Before going into the list of biggest risks, here is a “preamble to risks”. You need to be familiar with emergency procedures. This means the entire Chain (purchasing, etc.). The Control Tower idea, when done correctly and in conjunction with other fixes can be very successful.

It’s not the first time the Bay Area has been rocked by an earthquake, yet events like a recent magnitude-6.0 earthquake never fail to serve as a wake up call to small businesses in California and beyond.

Weather-related storms like hurricanes, tornadoes and Nor’easters can wreak far more havoc.
