After natural disasters, companies start the work of rebuilding and restoring security to employees. Use the list below to assess your company's safety while picking up the pieces.

• Reestablish contact with employees, vendors, and clients. The Red Cross Safe & Well check-in may initially verify someone's safety when phones are down.
• Have the premises professionally inspected to ensure structural integrity.
• Call your insurance agent to report damages and loss in income.
• Contact Nextep for assistance with workers' compensation, payroll, and benefits.
• Employees may be eligible for Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) for wages lost during the disaster. Each state provides further information:
  Oklahoma DUA       |       Texas DUA
• Assess your existing emergency plans and create new ones:
  Emergency Response Plan     |     Business Continuity Plan

For additional information, assistance, or accommodations, contact Nextep's HR Department.
