Emergency Planning and Loans

Is your business prepared to survive an emergency and rebuild once it passes?

Johnson County Emergency management estimates that 43% of businesses close following a catastrophic disaster and 51%  fail within 2 years.

Whether its a flood, tornado or ice storm, protecting your investment of time and resources can pay off. The Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) in partnership with Johnson County Emergency Management have prepared the Project Impact - Small Business Disaster Recovery Planning Program. This guide can be downloaded and completed as time allows. Additional professional assistance is also available from their office by calling (913) 782-3038.

A new loan program has been unveiled by Federal Emergency Management Administration and SBA. The Predisaster Mitigation Loan Program will help businesses make improvements to help limit the impact of potential disasters.
