Storms can cause a lot of problems for you and your business!

The last couple years Minnesota has experienced our fair share of disasters. With tornadoes and floods comes damage from wind, water and mold damage are just a couple things that can disrupt your business.

Did you know that over half of businesses who are affected by a disaster may not recover? That’s 50%, and the number one reason a business WILL survive is because they have a plan in place in case disaster strikes.

SERVPRO of Austin & Albert Lea is here to help area businesses be prepared for a disaster by helping them create an Emergency Readiness Plan. By developing an ERP for your business, you can minimize interruptions because you’ll have an immediate plan of action if a disaster occurs. Knowing what to expect and what to do is key to minimizing how water and mold can affect your business.

What’s in an Emergency Readiness Plan?

• Priority contact for the business
• A list of personnel, their contact information and duties/responsibilities after the disaster
• Building details such as the floor plan, breaker boxes, shut off valves and any other things that may need immediate attention
• A document containing critical information needed in the event of an emergency such as username and passwords to office equipment and accounts
• A list of external organizations that may be available to assist you and your business
• And, a plan to help you get back on premises – then back to work
