Winter Storms Can Bring Disruption
Seasonal Winter storms can be unpredictable and can bring property damage. Should storm damages occur, SERVPRO® of Augusta South / Burke & Wilkes Counties can help you on the path to being prepared and fix damages caused by storms. Exercising regular safety practices for Winter storms is always recommended, but one additional precaution you may not be aware of is an Emergency Plan curated by SERVPRO, called an “ERP.”
ERPs Lessen Damages for Your Business
Equipping yourself and your team with the accessibility and information hub such as the SERVPRO ERP offers a useful step towards creating an emergency plan specific for your business. An Emergency Plan can help your business stay equipped with valuable emergency information before a storm. The ERP helps in notifying your team of important locations for water shut offs, gas shut offs, insurance information, and more. SERVPRO crews also can have access to this important, time saving information so when and if you have storm damages, our crews can review the ERP to know exactly how to best respond to the damages before arriving on site.
Beyond the Storms
Beyond utilizing the ERP capability for responding to damages, the ERP has been found to be a useful tool for property managers, property owners, and maintenance professionals. The ERP has been modernized to not only be used as a tangible resource on site, but now as an app for mobile devices. The app access allows the ERP always should an emergency occur after-hours the same information in the tangible ERP can be shared amongst first responders and staff.
