Disaster Preperation

A natural or man made disaster can have monumental implications for our insurance clients. It can have similar impact on insurance agencies, possibly rendering them inoperable at the time when our customers need the services of their insurance agent most.

Recognizing the critical importance of customer service in a disaster the member agencies of The Advantage Group have contracted with Agility Recovery Solutions to provide individual agency business recovery support. Agility Recovery Solutions is the leading provider of business continuity solutions to small and medium sized businesses across North America. At time of business interruption, Agility provides its clients with the space, power, connectivity and technology needed to resume "business as usual."

Agility's mobile office environment includes the power, technology, space and connectivity organizations need to recover their operations after an interruption. The company has access to over 100,000 mobile offices throughout the United States. Within 48 hours the company will provide trailers to The Advantage Group member agencies to use if their office is hit by a storm or earthquake and they cannot operate using their own equipment or building.

Specifically designed for insurance agencies Agility provides a modular workspace that is fully equipped with power generation, telephones and fax with satellite communications, internet access, computer equipment including printers and servers, and traditional insurance agency amenities such as desks and chairs etal. The service includes a customized recovery roadmap and 24-hour access to Agility recovery specialists.
