Be Proactive, Not Reactive

For a business owner and homeowner, a worst case disaster scenario involving fire or water damage can seem unthinkable until it suddenly becomes a reality.  In the aftermath of a disaster, a quick response time by a disaster recovery company such as SERVPRO can help minimize the property damage.  Owners need to have a quick and convenient emergency disaster plan that connects them with vendors, necessary contacts, and pertinent information when disaster strikes.  The SERVPRO Emergency Ready Plan (ERP) is a respected industry tool during a disaster event.  An ERP is so valuable, that in the midst of the confusion and panic that often surround a disaster, an owner or manager can be provided a sense of calm and clarity in reaching out for expert help.  Make sure to identify your facility's greatest threats in order to assess the overall severity of the event.  Document all vital information and establish clear communication activities.  Conduct practice sessions to make sure everyone is clear on the process.  Lastly, keep your information updated, having all necessary information communicated with your insurance company and emergency restoration vendors.
