Single Automated Business Exchange for Reporting During and After Disasters

The US Chamber of Commerce Foundation Corporate Citizenship Center (CCC) is committed to improving the efficacy of business philanthropy before, during, and after disasters. A critical first step in that work is breaking down information and coordination barriers between sectors.

That is why the CCC is now offering its members FREE subscriptions to a new Business Status & Needs System (BSNS) from SABER Institute.

Enrolling in BSNS gives you access to view business disruptions across the country so you understand how they may impact you and how governments may be calling upon you to support your community.

But more important than seeing is participating. After enrolling you will be offered the opportunity to register for a username and password to provide your own business status and needs. Collecting this information lets the USCCF show governments how to prioritize business in response and recovery. And that helps you stay open longer and get back in business faster.

SHARE YOUR BUSINESS STATUS AND NEEDS BY MOBILE APP
OR SPREADSHEET – IT’S YOUR CHOICE – FOR FREE!

►  Resilience in a Box - help for business owners regardless of experience

►  Disaster Help Desk for Business - a resource to speak with experts
►  Small Biz Preparedness Quick Guides - trusted resources, catalogued
