Are you prepared for disaster? SERVPRO of Alamo Heights is here for you when disaster strikes!
Did you know that there has been an overall increase in natural disasters in the last five years? According to the statistics, natural disasters are not only happening more frequently, but they are also becoming stronger and more dangerous.
If you are lucky enough to have avoided a natural disaster situation at your business, planning now for the possibility can help you handle the situation better when it does occur.
Staying ahead of the risks and creating a reliable emergency plan can help you and your staff respond faster during a true emergency situation.
Since natural disaster situations are becoming more common, creating your plan can keep your family safe and can even reduce the risk of your property suffering significant damage. Taking action against the possibility of flooding, wind or fire damage before it happens can help in a huge way.
Disaster situations can have a significant impact on your business when it comes to the sheer amount of damage suffered, but it can also be a strain on you financially when it comes to restoration costs and any necessary closures that come with that.
Planning ahead also means that you can get back to work faster after a disaster strikes. Some businesses that suffer significant damage close their doors and never reopen them. We certainly don’t want that to happen to you and your livelihood!
SERVPRO® has the perfect solution for helping businesses like yours prepare for emergencies. Our Emergency Ready Plan can be tailored to your business’ specific needs and can be detailed enough to outline every possible disaster situation.
Our team will assess your business to understand the different risks associated with your day-to-day routine. For example, if your business works with chemicals a lot, we will create a robust chemical safety plan but also include information on how to control a chemical fire and how to get out of your building quickly.
Your plan will also include what to do before, during and after a disaster. This may include keeping important paperwork in an easy-to-reach area or having your employees have “go bags” that they can grab if they need to make a quick exit.
Communication is key during an emergency situation, so we will also include a section in your Emergency Ready Plan that lays out the chain of command and who is in charge of what. If you have specific people in charge of important tasks like calling 911 or grabbing the fire extinguisher, it can help minimize your situation and keep everyone in control.
The Emergency Ready Plan is the total package! Your business deserves to weather any emergency situation as smoothly as possible, and we can help you do that. We will help you prepare for whatever comes your way to minimize losses and protect the future of your business.
