We understand that you are facing unique business challenges and we stand ready to help you in any way we can. By working together as a community, I know we can meet those challenges.
So, what are we doing to assist you?
Compiling resources to help you continue operations
We have already identified several potential issues and are engaged in conversations with other stakeholders to try to minimize business interruption for you. For instance, will you continue to have access to public records, will RON evolve as a tool during this crisis, and what challenges will you face in a remote business environment? We have created a coronavirus resource landing page to share all of this information with you. This landing page includes information on:
- Business Continuity Strategies
- Chancery Clerk Status
- Safe Closing Protocols
- ALTA Resources
- General Information About the Coronavirus
