Are you prepared for disaster? SERVPRO of East Brownsville & South Padre Island is here for you when disaster strikes!
Over the last five years, the number of natural disasters has been steadily increasing. When you take note of the statistics, it is clear that not only is the number of events going up, but the overall intensity of the disasters has also increased. That means that not only are natural disasters more common, but they are leaving behind more damage than ever.
You can’t always rely on statistics alone, though, and there is still a chance your business will never experience a natural disaster that leaves behind damage. Even still, there is always the possibility of a manmade event happening that could leave you with losses.
No one enjoys considering all the ways that you might experience physical losses in your business, but it is important to prepare for your risks. By creating a plan, you can move through your day with a little less stress knowing you have done what you can to keep work going.
As natural disasters continue to increase every year and other risks remain high, having a plan is more important than ever. When you have a plan, you can save your employees’ lives and possibly prevent extreme damage to your business. Taking the time to get to know what specific risks you face means being able to take action ahead of potential storms, flooding or fire damage.
When a disaster strikes, it can not only leave physical damage and put lives at risk, but it is also one of the most challenging financial situations a business can live through. Making a plan will not only mean your team knows how to stay safe, but it can also protect your finances before, during and after the event.
Even if your property experiences damage, with a plan you can get back to work faster after a disaster. Most businesses that experience a closure from either a natural or manmade disaster never reopen. Creating a plan means work can keep going seamlessly, even if you no longer have a physical location to work from.
So, where do you begin? Creating a plan can feel like a pretty daunting task to complete, but SERVPRO® can work with you to form a plan that meets your unique needs. When you build an Emergency Ready Plan, it will be customized for your business, which means everything you need to stay safe and keep working will be laid out for you.
The first step to creating your plan will be a free assessment from our crew. We will walk through your business and examine your specific needs. It is our goal to create a path for your business so that you know exactly what to do before, during and after a disaster strikes.
Your plan will start the moment you say “go,” which means that you can start taking steps long before anything happens. If a disaster is predicted, your team can go to action in order to protect important paperwork, set up to work remotely and even prepare your building to mitigate damage.
When you have an Emergency Ready Plan, your team will know exactly how to communicate with one another during and after an event occurs. The chain of command will be laid out for you, and everyone will know exactly who to expect directions from.
As soon as it is safe to do so, our crew will respond to your property in order to start restorations while your staff gets back to work. If your business is unable to operate remotely, your plan can include alternate physical work locations so that as soon as it is safe, your business is running again.
Your business needs a plan that is the total package. An Emergency Ready Plan is designed to meet all of your needs in order to help you avoid as much financial loss as possible and keep work going as fast as possible. A plan with SERVPRO comes with 24⁄7 availability, years of experience and the backing of a national brand that is always ready to put life back together quickly.
