Blog summary: The SERVPRO blog talks about Emergency Ready Plans that commercial property owners must have to protect themselves in the event of a disaster.
Is your business ready for any emergencies?
Businesses are often left paralyzed when natural disasters strike. The recovery time for businesses that have no emergency-ready plans is much longer and harder. Being prepared is necessary for quick response and recovery. SERVPRO, a commercial water damage restoration company, talks about its Emergency Ready Plan (ERP) advantages in the blog below.
Statistics show that up to 50% of businesses that close due to a disaster never reopen. Most businesses that reopened had some type of response plan in place. When businesses don’t have a disaster recovery plan to enable a swift resumption of normal operations, they lose not only revenues but also employee productivity and face secondary damage costs.
Most full contingency plans are composed of incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity. The SERVPRO ERP addresses incident response and disaster recovery. It ensures that the owners and employees are aware of the next plan of action, who to call, and what to expect in case of a variety of disaster incidents.
The advantages of the SERVPRO ERP
A free assessment of the facility
The SERVPRO team will arrive at the facility and assess and document every weakness in the property. Any existing disaster response protocols will also be reviewed to understand their efficacy. This complete assessment requires no expenditure at all.
A concise profile document with critical information
When an emergency strikes, employees and the building's manager will have access to a document that states all the critical facts they need at the time of emergency. This can save hours of time and effort when an emergency does strike. The document has information such as shut-off valve locations, priority areas, and priority contact information that acts as a quick reference of what to do, how to do it, and who to call ahead of an emergency.
A guide after the disaster has struck
Is it safe to go back to a disaster-struck building? An immediate plan of action can help mitigate the business interruption in an emergency.
Access to the local SERVPRO disaster response team
Enrolling in the SERVPRO ERP gives businesses access to a local SERVPRO team and all the resources, technology, and experience that SERVPRO has acquired over years. An industry leader, SERVPRO offers the best services to its clients across 1900 locations across the nation.
A clear line of command during emergencies
In the absence of a plan, a lot of time is lost in identifying who will authorize the restoration process. By establishing this line of authority beforehand, the wastage of time is avoided and an almost instant restoration and recovery process can begin.
Smoother insurance claims process
As one of the most trusted and preferred partners for insurance companies, SERVPRO helps businesses navigate the insurance claims process. All the necessary paperwork is easily managed when the restoration team and insurance company work together. Moreover, since SERVPRO has a super-quick response time in emergencies, it helps keep the claims low.
