The Calm Before the Storm

2/24/2021 (Permalink)

When damage strikes, you can be ruined or you can be ready!

When weather experts are forecasting a large snowstorm, many people venture out of their homes and to the store to gather essentials. These essentials include food, water, and heating supplies that are needed in the event that power or other tragic events do not hinder their survival. As a commercial business, you have the opportunity to seize the “calm” before the storm.

At SERVPRO of Eaton County, Clinton & Gratiot Counties and Lansing & Holt, we offer “our essentials” in the form of an Emergency Ready Plan (ERP). The ERP allows us to collect your companies contact information to ensure YOUR business's survival. By having this profile plan available, we are able to have all the emergency contacts, locate water and gas shut-off points, map out directions to exits, determine the amount of equipment and staff needed in a given loss event, and collect any other useful information in case of emergency. 

Benefits

How does this prepare your business? 

1. Creates a quicker response time to speed up the mitigation process
2. Quicker response time = prevention of any further loss
3. Eliminates time discussing important information over the phone which would already be covered in the ERP
4. Ensures the RIGHT people are contacted with updated data
5. Establishes what crew and equipment from OUR team will be necessary to provide the best service BEFORE the loss occurs

We hope that you never have to experience any type of loss, but with access to our amazing Emergency Ready Plan, both parties can be prepared BEFORE the storm hits.
