If it seems like you are seeing more coverage of natural disasters on TV and on social media lately, it’s because you are! Natural disasters have been increasing over the last five years across the country. 

While you may have been lucky so far and avoided a natural disaster or serious damage at your business, that doesn’t mean that it will always be this way. Planning for disasters can help you stay in control and it can help you recover faster. 

Creating a reliable emergency plan is the key! Our team can help create a robust plan that can guide you through many different disaster scenarios. 

Why a Plan Should Matter to You 

Since natural disasters are simply becoming more commonplace, creating your plan before one strikes our area can help keep your team safe and can even reduce the risk of your building suffering serious structural damage. 

Disaster situations can have a serious impact on your business. The sheer amount of damage caused can be overwhelming, but it can also cause a significant financial strain when it comes to restoration needs or long-term closures during repairs. 

Having a response plan in place is also helpful in getting back to work faster! Many businesses actually don’t reopen after suffering a disaster because the work is either too extensive or the repairs are too expensive. We don’t want that to happen to you and your business.

Building an Emergency Ready Plan

SERVPRO of Pewaukee & Sussex has the perfect solution for businesses just like yours. Our team can help you create an Emergency Ready Plan that will be tailored to your specific business and your needs during various different emergency situations. 

Our team will assess your business and do a thorough overview of the different threats that could impact your building on a daily basis. For example, an emergency plan for a large warehouse that works with dangerous chemicals will be much different than one for a small storefront that sells homemade goods. However, they are both important to have!

The plan will include what to do before, during and after a disaster, and it will include all kinds of safety and preparation steps. We will explain how to create an evacuation route, where to store your fire extinguishers and how to prepare your employees to grab essential items on their way out the door to safety. 

We will also take the time to outline a specific communication strategy that your team can follow. Knowing who is in charge of what is crucial to staying in control and avoiding chaos. Your Emergency Ready Plan will outline the chain of command and assign tasks like calling 911 and grabbing fire extinguishers to certain people so that everyone knows what is expected of them. 

Our Emergency Ready Plan is the total package! Your business deserves to come out on top after any sort of disaster, and we can help you do that. Being prepared is the best offense you can have when it comes to the unexpected.
