The old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" holds true when it comes to many of the emergencies craft artists face. Occupational safety practices can help avoid injuries and chronic health problems. Making some advance preparations such as safeguarding computer files, documents, and photographs can lessen the impact of a fire, flood, or natural disaster on a business. Having enough of the right kinds of insurance can provide the funds to rebuild a business that has been devastated.
CERF has redoubled its commitment to emergency preparedness and prevention and is currently working on important initiatives in emergency preparedness and insurance issues. The links to the left include resources on related topics.
