Disasters don't plan ahead. You can!

September is National Preparedness Month and SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook is a committed to helping to promote the importance of preparedness planning.

The theme this year is Disasters don’t plan ahead.  You can!

The first step is to make a plan.  With the help of the resources available from ready.gov, you can be ready for a disaster before it strikes. 

Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find.

Step 1: Put together a plan with your family to discuss a communication plan & an evacuation route.

Step 2:  Consider specific needs in your household.

Step 3: Fill out a Family Emergency Plan

Step 4: Practice your plan with your family/household

Emergency Ready Profile

Did you know that 50% of businesses may never reopen after suffering a damage?  Of the ones that do survive, the majority have a preparedness plan in place.  Pre-planning can serve as an insurance policy aimed at peace of mind.  By developing a SERVPRO® Emergency READY Profile for your business, you minimize business interruption by having an immediate plan of action.

Having a plan in place not only lets you know how to handle emergencies timely and efficiently but helps speak trust to your clients and employees by knowing that should your business be affected by a disaster, they don't necessarily have to be.

Advantages of having an ERP:

  • A no cost assessment of your facility
  • A concise Profile Document that contains only the critical information needed in the event of an emergency.
  • Provides facility details such as shut-off valve locations, priority areas, and priority contact information.
  • Establishes SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook as your disaster mitigation and restoration provider.
  • A guide to help you get back into your building following a disaster.

No one ever plans on a disaster, but you can plan for it. Now is the time to ask yourself, "Are you ready for whatever happens?"
