Do You Have a Disaster Preparedness Strategy?

2/22/2022 (Permalink)

If the day comes when your business is hit with disaster or emergency, you can rest assured SERVPRO of Putnam County will be there to help.

Running a company is often a profession that demands working more hours than you might have anticipated. Maintaining a workforce, paying employees, and keeping up with a constantly shifting environment are some of the challenges you face as you compete in the market, strive to innovate, and maintain a positive online presence. Trying to balance all of this is like balancing on a tightrope.

That’s why it’s so common for a single business interruption to alter a company’s trajectory permanently. As many as 40% of small businesses do not reopen after a natural disaster. Also, 25% of those are forced to shut down within a year, according to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

It is now more critical than ever for companies to have a well-thought-out strategy in place in the event of an emergency or disaster, given the recent memory of pandemic shutdowns and concerns about the future. There has to be a paradigm shift in how small companies deal with natural disasters since 75% of them don’t have a strategy.

SERVPRO is delighted to assist companies in Putnam County in developing an Emergency Ready Plan. We’ll work with your business by assessing your specific needs and concerns.

We’ll cover everything from major disasters to data recovery and backup so that you can push “go” and the plan begins working immediately to minimize downtime and impact. You and your teams will have a clear understanding of the hierarchy of authority, what has to be done and when, as well as alternate suppliers, work locations, and more.

Don’t make your business journey even more difficult by not having adequate disaster preparation in place. Allow the SERVPRO professionals in our area to assist you in developing an Emergency Ready Plan. When a disruption occurs, you don’t want your company to be one that can’t bounce back. 

When your business is ready to prioritize planning and safety to prevent extended downtime, contact SERVPRO to get the Emergency Ready Plan underway from the folks who know all there is to know about disaster and recovery.
