Is Your Business Prepared For Emergency Preparedness Month? 

Every September is National Preparedness Month. This years theme for National Preparedness Month is "Prepared, Not Scared. Be Ready for Disasters". One way to be ready for disasters is to have an Emergency Ready Profile (ERP) for your Pickens County business or facility. An ERP is a no-cost assessment; all it requires is a little time, which makes it a great value that could save you a lot of time in the future. Preparation is the key to making it through any size disaster, whether it is a small water leak, a large fire, or an area flood.

Having an immediate plan in action can help reduce your business interruption. The ERP is that plan. The ERP gives your Pickens County business top priority in the event of an area-wide disaster. The process of completing an ERP begins with our Disaster Recovery Consultants touring your Pickens County business or facility. During this tour, they locate the shut-off valves and high priority locations. They will also identify a chain of command for authorizing work to begin. Emergency contact information, your facilities electric or gas company, water company, and power company contact information is collected and compiled into a comprehensive document. This document is easily accessible online or through SERVPRO's free Ready Plan app. A copy of this document is also stored at SERVPRO Corporate. In the event of a county-wide disaster, your ERP will be sent to SERVPRO disaster teams. Disasters don't plan ahead, but you can with an Emergency Ready Plan.
