Emergency Readiness Planning
6/12/2017 (Permalink)
Less than 50% of businesses reopen after damage to a company’s facilities. It is much easier to prepare for an emergency than to repair damages. More importantly, how quickly your business returns to normal operations depends on emergency planning. SERVPRO of Dearborn can create an Emergency Readiness Profile for your business.
Creating and committing to an emergency plan will help your employees, customers, and community. Emergency planning protects your business by giving your company and its facility a better chance of surviving a crisis.
Be informed:
Know which types of emergencies are most likely to impact your business and develop a plan to deal with each them.
Develop a Business Continuity Plan:
Determine which staff, procedures, and equipment are critical to keeping your operation functional. Create a procedure for what to do if utilities are disrupted or your facility is not accessible. Make a back up plan for every scenario.
Make Your Emergency Plan:
Emergency plans should include evacuation and shelter in place policies. Develop a communications procedure for before, during and after any possible incident. Practice and review all procedures at least once a year.
Review Your Insurance Coverage
Know exactly what coverage you have. Review your policy annually with your agent to confirm the losses you are most likely to experience are covered. Keep in mind, as you add equipment, software, furniture and business goods, your coverage should change.
Let SERVPRO of Dearborn prepare your business for anything with a FREE Emergency Readiness Profile.
