Prevent this Disaster Scenario From Happening to Your Business

It is a Monday morning. You have just walked into your workplace to find the breakroom kitchen sink flooded over the weekend! The water damage has spread throughout the entire first floor: walls, flooring, cubicles and all. You can smell a horrible odor already and you cannot even see the floor because there is so much standing water. What do you do? What is your company’s plan?

It's Difficult to Plan for Disasters Alone

An Emergency Ready Plan, or an ERP, ensures that no matter when disaster strikes in your business, your team will know what to do and how to handle the situation. When an emergency happens, it is never a planned event. It can be a severe disruption that could take days, weeks or even months to restore the original building to its previous state. The most productive way to prevent long term damage or restoration is to be prepared in advance for such occurrences. Planning for potential events is crucial to being able to respond quickly in an emergency.

Now we know how important an Emergency Ready Plan is, what do we do next?  First things, first! Be sure to sit down with your coworkers and discuss where emergency exits are, where to go in a flood, storm or tornado when you need to take shelter, emergency points of contact, and who to call when you have water or smoke damage in your building. Having a written plan that is posted around all emergency exits and standard doors in your building is key to ensuring visibility during an actual emergency. It is important to stress upon your staff to know these plans to avoid confusion during a chaotic event.
