We have been seeing an uptick in natural disasters over the last few years across the United States. The statistics are a little scary on them, too, as you can see that not only are they happening more frequently, but they are growing in strength and leaving behind more damage.
Stats might help us see a big picture, but they don’t always reflect what will happen with our own businesses. Your company might never experience a natural disaster that leaves you with damage. But even if that does hold true for you, there are still risks of manmade disasters that could leave your business hurt.
Thinking about the ways that our business can be damaged can be an overwhelming task, but it is a necessary one. When you take the time to consider what you might face, you can prepare for it—and when you are prepared, you can rest a little easier knowing things are safe.
As the frequency of natural disasters continues to increase, building a plan has become more important than ever. Taking a step back and really looking at the risks your business could endure can help you stay ahead of them—which means you will be prepared when potential storms, fires or floods strike.
When a disaster strikes, it is not only physical and emotional damage you are left to deal with. Both natural and manmade disasters are some of the most financially damaging events that can occur in the life of a business. With a plan, you are not only protecting the lives of your staff but your finances as well.
Having a plan ahead of time means that work can start back the moment it is safe to do so. Often when a business faces a forced closure due to any kind of disaster, there is very little chance for it to ever reopen. Make sure your business doesn’t fall prey to that same fate by creating a well-prepared plan of action.
The first step in creating that well prepared plan of action? A call to our SERVPRO® to create an Emergency Ready Plan. Our plans can be completely personalized to cover your specific risks and unique situations. That means your business stays in action and starts recovery fast the moment you say “go.”
To create your plan, our team will provide a free assessment of your business in order to create the best path for you and your employees to take during an event. We will walk you through what needs to happen before, during and after a disaster strikes.
When a disaster is predicted to be heading your way, you can activate your plan and start taking steps to protect your business. Your staff will likely be assigned particular tasks in order to prepare paperwork, electronics, remote work protocols and even protect your building against damage. Because your action steps will be well laid-out in your plan, everyone will know what to do with little need for instruction.
Communication will be a key component of your plan in order to ensure consistent connections throughout the duration of the event. A chain of command will be established, which can disseminate the right information at the right time to avoid confusion.
Our team will be communicating with you as well, and as soon as we safely can, we will dispatch a crew to your property to start the recovery process. Meanwhile, your employees can get back to work, whether on site, using a remote work plan or at an alternate location that will be established well before anything takes place.
When you create an Emergency Ready Plan, you are creating a complete package that will meet every need. Our plans are designed to protect the lives of you and your staff while allowing you to continue to move forward with your business. The Emergency Ready Plan comes with our 24⁄7 availability and the support network of a national brand. It is our goal to help you reach your goals, which means getting back to work fast.
