Prepare an Emergency Readiness Plan for Your Cotati Business

A disaster can strike at anytime, anywhere; it waits for no one. That is why it is essential to have a plan for emergencies to protect your business.  A disaster can be a devastating experience, so businesses should evaluate their plans and implement strategies to protect their commercial property, employees, and customers when a disaster strikes down the line.

How does disaster affect your business?

Following a disaster, as many as 50% of businesses close, according to the latest research. Of the businesses that can survive a disaster event, a vast majority had a preparedness plan ready. Pre-planning can not only provide peace of mind but also serve as a form of an insurance policy. Knowing that you are “Ready for whatever happens” speaks volumes by instilling trust with your employees and clients. When a disaster strikes, it does not necessarily mean your business has to be affected.  

What is involved in an Emergency Readiness Plan?

The SERVPRO Emergency Ready Plan is a tool for property managers and owners, both residential and commercial. It allows for the creation of an Emergency READY Profile. By developing a SERVPRO Emergency READY Profile for your home or business, you minimize business interruption by having an immediate action plan. Knowing what to do and what to expect in advance is the key to timely mitigation and can help minimize how water and fire damage can affect your home or business.
