Take action, be prepared and be ready for when disaster strikes! September is National Preparedness month and SERVPRO of West Akron wants to inform property owners with the information and resources they need to plan for, react to, survive, and recover from an emergency, before the emergency happens.
Week 1. Create an emergency plan that includes signing up for emergency alerts and making contingency plans for shelter, evacuation, and family communication.
Week 2. Learn life-saving skills. CPR is a good place to start, but also be certain you know how to turn off the utilities in your home and ensure your smoke and CO detectors are properly installed and working.
Week 3. Check your insurance coverage. Once the emergency is over, appropriate and sufficient insurance will be key to getting your life back to normal, or at least on track.
Week 4. Plan financially for the possibility of a disaster. This goes beyond having a “rainy day fund” for immediate needs. Gather and organize important home, business, insurance, financial, and personal documents and keep them up-to-date and stored in a secure, water-and-fire proof location.
SERVPRO of West Akron understands the importance of a fast response is critical in any emergency. SERVPRO has a downloadable app for both commercial and residential property owners. The SERVPRO READY app is free and allows users to store essential contact and property information electronically, where it can be accessed with a mobile device in seconds, right from the scene, if disaster strikes. For business owners in the NE Ohio area, please call us at 330-867-5723 to conduct a no-cost assessment of your facility and to complete a comprehensive Emergency READY Profile® (ERP), and store that profile in the READY app.
