đž How Rural Businesses in Yakima Can Boost Resilience with IT After Natural Disasters
When the SBA announced relief loans for Yakima County businesses impacted by the 2024 drought, it signaled more than financial aidâit reminded us that disruptions are inevitable.
At ZiryTech, we see this as a call to action. Small businesses in central Washington must go beyond survival and aim for resilience. That starts with technology.
âIn rural Yakima, itâs not just about recovering from disastersâitâs about staying operational through them.â
đŚď¸ The Rural Risk Reality
Yakima businesses face unique vulnerabilities:
- Power and internet outages
- Limited infrastructure for remote work
