McKinsey & Company,Hurricanes like Helene and Milton show just how fragile small businesses can be, even though they’re the heart of local communities. Here’s why we need to act now: - Nearly 60% of Florida’s small businesses were directly impacted, leading to job losses and huge revenue hits. - These businesses are more than just employers—they’re local lifelines, driving communities forward. - Recovery isn’t just about rebuilding buildings; it’s about restoring livelihoods and trust. - Government aid and timely support are critical, but businesses also need stronger disaster resilience plans. - Building a more prepared future means investing in technology, emergency funds, and local partnerships. - Communities thrive when small businesses are supported—not just after a crisis, but before one. - This is a wake-up call to rethink how we protect and empower our most vulnerable assets. - Small businesses need more than recovery—they need sustainable growth pathways. - Collaboration between government, business owners, and communities can create stronger networks. - By backing small businesses, we back the future of our communities.
