Our team at SERVPRO of Cullman/Blount Counties is ready to help you get an ERP ready for 2024, and beyond!

As business owners ourselves, we fully understand the importance of planning for disaster. After all, we are a trusted expert when it comes to overcoming disasters, so we uniquely understand how unexpected and frustrating they can be.

Having a plan in place for a variety of different scenarios can help you stay in control and help you avoid permanent closures. You love your business, and we do, too! This is why our commercial services team can help you develop an Emergency Ready Plan. 

Building an Emergency Ready Plan 

You may be able to plan for minor emergencies on your own, but serious situations like warehouse fires, large floods or storm emergencies can quickly create chaotic environments that become dangerous for everyone under your roof. Having a SERVPRO® Emergency Ready Plan for your business will ensure everyone understands what to do and how to act during various different situations.

Did you know that about a quarter of all businesses in the United States that suffer a disaster don’t reopen? That’s a lot of failed businesses, simply due to an insurmountable disaster situation. We don’t want that to happen to you! Having a plan for the unexpected will make sure you stay in control of your future no matter how destructive the disaster is.

What Does the Plan Entail? 

We first send one of our team members out to your property to do a no-cost assessment of your building. We will walk around the entire space to assess the different threats and emergency scenarios that your building could experience and we tailor our plans based on the kind of work you do, the materials you have onsite and the varying level of danger that is possible. For example, an emergency plan for a small storefront will be much different than for a large warehouse that deals with chemicals or fire.

Your plan will include things like emergency exit routes, fire extinguisher locations, a reliable communication strategy and even suggestions for things to do before the emergency even occurs.  We will identify secure places to store important documents, different ways to prepare go-bags for your employees to grab in an emergency, and we can even help you develop a plan to help navigate remote work while any repairs are taking place.  

Our Restoration Services
We will work hard to help develop a reliable and thorough Emergency Ready Plan, but that doesn’t mean that your business is immune to disaster. We all know that Mother Nature is unpredictable and the unexpected can happen at any time.

If your business does suffer from some sort of disaster, utilize your Emergency Ready Plan to stay on task and then get us on the phone so we can handle your entire recovery from start to finish. No disaster situation is too large or too destructive for us to handle, so call us for the most reliable and efficient restoration possible.
