The Columbia Gorge Community College Small Business Development Center has launched a new Disaster Recovery Guide for businesses impacted by the recent wildfires. The guide helps business owners understand and assess their situation so they can make the best decisions in the recovery process. The Disaster Assistance Guide is based on the experiences of Small Business Development Center advisers both nationally and in Oregon responding to disasters throughout the United States. The guide is structured as a workbook, with specific steps to take to understand the state of the business’s finances, inventory, marketing, customers and employees. The workbook is intended to be used with no-cost business advising from the Small Business Development Center to help business owners make the best decisions during this recovery. Businesses may contact the CGCC Small Business Development Center by calling (541) 506-6121 or visiting https://oregonsbdc.org/centers/columbia-gorge-sbdc/
