How do we survive surviving? By Ann SanCartier for Firestorm

Imagine.  You head to pick up your child from school and abruptly, the only thing separating you, your daughter and your sister from 200 mile per hour winds are two collapsed walls supporting each other in a triangular formation. You hold your daughter with adrenaline-induced strength while you scream and pray as the realistic fear of being sucked up into a monster overwhelms you. That’s what happened to a family I spoke with who survived the Moore, Oklahoma Tornado. As they cowered for protection at Briarwood Elementary, what we now know to be an E5 tornado, whipped them with flying debris leaving their feet, arms, and heads lacerated by its ferocity. As this mother shared her traumatic experience with me, she related that her sister was waiting in their van parked outside the school. When the school advised her that a...

Firestorm Franchising, LLC

Become a Firestorm Franchisee and put your experience to work!

Are you looking for a professional consulting and training business opportunity that will put your experience and contacts to work? Firestorm can show you how preparedness can create opportunities for you and help others.

We live in a period of increasing natural disasters, terrorism and health crises. Firestorm has solved problems ranging from designing continuity and pandemic plans for Fortune 500 companies to providing crisis management support after the Virginia Tech tragedy. Together, we can be an effective team.

Firestorm has developed step-by-step processes, tools, procedures and plans for Franchisees to market to companies and assist these companies in planning for and managing disasters and crises. Your potential is large. Your experience and contacts can open doors. Your sales market is the entire United States. Firestorm brings credibility, references, potential national account opportunities, and a fast-start process to help Franchisees generate immediate sales. You can make sales and help others.

According to the 9/11 Commission Report, 85 percent of the infrastructure in America is in the private sector and "Preparedness is not a luxury, it is a cost of doing business." The Red Cross states that 70,000 disasters occur annually in the United States. The Department of Labor has identified that 40 percent of businesses struck by a disaster never reopen and of those that do, 25 percent close within two years.

To address these concerns, Congress has mandated that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FEMA establish a certification program for Business Continuity Plans in the private sector under Public Law 110-53, Title IX. Today, the DHS certification is "voluntary." However, the establishment of these best practices and corporate governance responsibilities will force companies to have plans that must be developed, trained, and exercised. These create sales opportunities for you.

Firestorm can show you how to be in front of thousands of business leaders who need to prepare their companies and employees for the unforeseen events that might be in their future. There is a massive opportunity available for you to put your experience to work now!
