Overview

The COVID-19 virus pandemic created a situation where employees were not able to come to work. This is not the only situation that can disrupt business. Severe weather (snow storms tornados, earthquakes,...) or power outages such as California instituted because of the fire danger, these can all disrupt normal business. However, our customers still expect us to be able to do business.
