WARREN — The Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber and tourism bureaus in Trumbull and Mahoning counties are encouraging local businesses to sign a pledge to emerge safely from the virus outbreak.

The “Pledge to EMERGE Safely” assures customers and guests that each of the chamber’s member businesses are putting health and safety first, and are in compliance with public health recommendations to keep people safe as businesses reopen and cope with COVID-19.

The pledge can be signed at regionalchamber.com/emergepledge.

Once businesses sign, they will receive a toolkit with downloadable signage and logos to alert patrons of their commitment to the pledge.

The chamber launched the EMERGE initiative in April to help businesses navigate through and recover from outbreak by providing assistance on a variety of topics and matters.
