Be Ready. Be Resilient.

At BRIK, we believe Kansas businesses shouldn’t have to start from scratch when it comes to emergency planning. The Business Readiness Initiative of Kansas equips businesses statewide with resources and support to keep the doors open. When an emergency hits, you won’t have time to plan. With BRIK, you’ll already have one.

Who We Are.

The Business Readiness Initiative of Kansas (BRIK) helps small and medium businesses across Kansas build resilience.

We provide practical tools like emergency response playbooks and safety checklists — so you can focus on running your business, not planning for worst-case scenarios.
