How to Prepare Your Business for a Disaster

7/12/2023 (Permalink)

Flooding in your Monroe Business can be time consuming, expensive, and overwhelming. If you do not recover quickly enough you could potentially lose customers or even your business. Working with an established and reputable restoration company to remediate damage can make the crucial difference in getting your business back up and running.

Preparedness is another important key to getting back to business. SERVPRO has created a set of tools to help prepare you for a catastrophic event such as a flood. With our Emergency Ready Plan and Profile (ERP) we will assess your property in person, look for potential vulnerabilities, and make recommendations that can minimize damage. Our team will also locate all of your emergency shut offs and other important components of your building and compile all of the important information you will need into our app for your use.  

You can then personalize your profile to include which members of your team you want to make decisions if you are unavailable during the crisis. The ERP will also include a blueprint of your business layout, names of important contacts and phone numbers, locations of utility shut offs, and any other important information you want to include. You also can indicate if you want SERVPRO to respond to an emergency, which can help speed up the mitigation process. 

The SERVPRO ERP allows a business owner to indicate priorities regarding areas of the business to restore first or documents or records to inventory and pack out. Take the opportunity to work with our IICRC certified technicians on ideas that can keep at least a portion of your business open during the crisis and recovery so that your clientele does not lose confidence in your products or services during the flooding restoration process.
