The workshop is the latest in a series of local responses to last year's April superstorm, when the State Emergency Service received upwards of 2800 requests for help in the Maitland region alone.
SES Community Engagement Officer, Alexandra Varley, said businesses simply weren't prepared for the level of damage and this workshop will get them back on track.
"Businesses will actually receive their own business continuity plan," she said. "It's a step-by-step guide so that when a disaster does strike, they know the steps to take before, during and after the event."
The workshop kicks off on Friday, 11th November at Town Hall.
To register their interest, business owners can call the Maitland City Unit on 0417 549 292.
