Are you prepared for disaster? SERVPRO of Harlingen/San Benito is here for you when disaster strikes!
Over the last few years, natural disasters have been on the rise. When you take a look at the statistics, you can see that not only are the number of occurrences going up, but so is the intensity of these disasters. That means more extensive damage in more places.
Statistics only represent a possibility, though, and your business might not ever see a natural disaster that creates a business interruption. Even still, there is always a possibility of manmade disasters occurring and knocking your business off track.
You may not love thinking about all the things that could leave your business in a bad spot, but getting to know your risks is important. When you understand the challenges you might face, you can plan for them and take steps towards prevention.
As the possibility of natural disasters occurring gets higher and higher, making a plan for your business can help save lives and prevent losses. When you take the time to think through the threats you could face, you can stay prepared and take fast action even before a flood, storm or fire happens.
When a disaster strikes, your business will not only face potential physical damages, but it can also cause extreme financial challenges. With a plan, you can get back to work faster with a team that is not only safe, but that also knows exactly how to keep things going.
Many businesses that are forced to close as a result of a disaster never reopen. A plan can get your team back in action fast, which means you can keep your businesses intact and your finances protected even if you no longer have a physical location to work from.
If you are ready to create a plan but don’t know where to start, SERVPRO® has you covered. With our Emergency Ready Plan, you can create a personalized plan that meets your businesses needs. Our plans start before a disaster can strike and walk with you through the entire process.
In order to create your plan, our staff will come and take a total assessment of your business. We will work with you to form an action plan that keeps your business on the best path to safely avoiding losses. Our team will make sure you know what to do before, during and after a disaster.
Ahead of an event occurring, your plan will cover exactly what your staff should be doing. It might mean some of your employees are assigned to protecting paperwork, while others are taking care of the building. You won’t have to scramble in order to give out directions; with a plan, everyone will know what to do as soon as you say “go.”
Keeping a strong line of communication will be a crucial part of your plan at every stage of a disaster occurring. Your Emergency Ready Plan will lay out a chain of command so that your team knows exactly who to report to and who to expect directions from.
After a disaster, our highly trained crew will respond to your property in order to start restorations while your staff gets business going again. If remote work isn’t an option, your plan will include alternate physical locations in order to facilitate your needs.
Creating an Emergency Ready Plan with SERVPRO means you get a plan that is a complete package. Our customized plan can protect your business from financial losses and keep your staff safe. In addition to laying out every step to take, your plan comes with our 24⁄7 availability and the backing of a national brand. We make it our goal to get your business back to work fast.
