Are you prepared for disaster? SERVPRO of Buffalo/Tonawanda is here for you when disaster strikes!
It will probably be no surprise to you to learn that the number of natural disasters has significantly increased over the last five years in the United States. Statistically speaking, natural disasters are happening more frequently, but they are also getting stronger when they do occur, leaving behind more damage in their wakes.
Natural disasters can’t be prevented, but they can be planned for. Knowing what to do if disaster strikes your business can ensure your staff responds smoothly and more reliably to keep everyone safe.
Creating an emergency plan for the different scenarios you could encounter is vital! We explain more about the importance of creating a plan below.
Natural disasters are occurring more frequently, so having a plan has become more important than ever. It can save lives and even control any damage situation. When you understand the different threats to your business, you can take action to minimize the impact of flooding, wind damage or fire damage.
Disasters could certainly cause extensive physical damage to your property, but they can also create financial struggles that impact you and the rest of your staff. Having a plan in place can also protect your finances and the livelihoods of your staff members.
A quick recovery means that your team can get back to work faster after a disaster strikes. If you aren’t prepared, a serious damage situation could force your business to close, only to never reopen again. We don’t want that to happen to you!
SERVPRO® has the perfect solution when it comes to protecting your business. Our Emergency Ready Plan is offered to any business or commercial property in the Buffalo and Tonawanda area. It is a comprehensive guide to all of the different disaster scenarios that can occur in our community.
Our team will assess the different risks to your business and we will find the best course of action for each scenario. It will lay out what to do before, during and after each instance.
The details for planning before disasters may include steps like moving important paperwork to a waterproof part of your building or creating go-bags for your employees that they can quickly grab on their way out the door.
Communication during unexpected events is also crucial. Our team will help create a communication chain of command that will help lay out who is in charge of what during a disaster. For example, if you have someone designated to call 911 or someone to focus on getting staff to safety, you can increase your chances of everyone responding quickly and properly.
Our Emergency Ready Plan is the total package when it comes to the needs of your business. We can help you avoid financial losses and prevent a potential closure of your beloved business. Call us day or night, and we will be there for you.
