National Preparedness Month 2019: Be Prepared with SERVPRO's Emergency Ready Profile

9/4/2019 (Permalink)

The Emergency Ready Profile is a no-cost readiness plan to prepare your business for any size disaster.

September is observed annually as National Preparedness Month, sponsored by FEMA. This is a great time to ensure your commercial property or business is prepared for the unexpected. Whether natural or man-made, disasters can occur at any time, and there is no telling what damages could be caused.

According to industry studies, up to 50% of all businesses may never recover after a disaster. Of those that do make it through, it's likely because preparedness plan was set in place.

SERVPRO's Emergency Ready Profile (ERP) can help you minimize business interruption by setting up an immediate plan of action at no cost. Knowing what steps to take and what to expect in advance can help ensure timely mitigation and minimize the effects of water and fire damage to your business.

The ERP compiles critical information to begin mitigation and recovery services immediately when you need it into a physical Profile Document, as well as a mobile app called Ready Plan for quick and easy accessibility. This information includes emergency and primary contact information, gas and water shutoff locations, and priority areas in the building.

By working with SERVPRO to develop your ERP, your business receives the benefit of over 40 years of experience in reducing the impact of any natural or man-made disaster. SERVPRO is a leader in water and fire damage response and can help you quickly get your property back in working order.
