October 2017 Newsletter - Business Disaster Preparedness Plan
Suzanne Breistol Natural disasters seem to be happening more and more. Thankfully, we have people like you designing and building infrastructure and buildings for the future that keep the death toll down compared to when disaster struck past. This month we have the Barthlet Law firm to help you make sure the contracts on your projects have the proper provision when a natural disaster strikes. We address the challenges employers had with employees evacuating and not returning to work on time, along with appreciation for our contractors and trades. We would not be rebuilding our homes and businesses without you! We recognize your dedication to do so. More people in the construction industry die weekly on average than die in a natural disaster. Please help support Construction Angels who are the first responders for these families during the loss of a loved one serving in our industry. We are always here if we can help you with resources for your career and businesses or just need encouragement. Don't hesitate to give us a call

Suzanne on behalf of the FLCC Team!
