The Best Way to Reduce Business Interruption Following a Disaster

1/7/2021 (Permalink)

We can handle the big stuff!

From natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, earthquakes or fires to troubling scenarios resulted from leaks or human activity, there are a number of situations that can lead to business interruption.

While the costs resulted from these disruptions often make impossible for businesses to ever recover financially, the fact that a better planning has proved to reduce the number of days out of business for owners is a good reason for wanting to update your risk management plan.

SERVPRO of Martin County has the expertise to help you assess risk and planning for a disaster before it strikes. By developing an Emergency Ready Profile (ERP) for your business and establish SERVPRO as your disaster mitigation and restoration provider, our company will help you to minimize the damages resulted from a variety of scenarios. Benefits of an ERP include:

• A no cost assessment of your facility which means there is no need to allocate funds, giving you a great value at no cost.
• A concise profile document that contains only the critical information needed in the event of an emergency. It will only take a little time to complete and will not take you away from current projects. But it will save a lot of time if ever needed.
• A guide to help you get back into your building following a disaster. This can help minimize the amount of time your business is inactive by having an immediate plan of action.
• Identification of the line of command for authorizing work to begin. This saves time, so we can begin the work of mitigating the damage which can save you time and money.
• A priority facility plans with details such as shut-off valve locations, priority areas and priority contact information. Having a quick reference of what to do, how to do it and who to call provides solutions in advance of an emergency so that during the emergency you are “Ready for whatever happens.”
