Why Your Business Needs an Emergency Ready Profile (ERP)

4/11/2023 (Permalink)

Being a business owner comes with an excessive list of stressors.  Handling an emergency on your own should not be one of the items on that list.  That's why SERVPRO created an emergency program, to make certain that all businesses, small and large, are fully prepared for any disaster.

What is the SERVPRO ERP?

Unfortunately, disasters cannot always be prevented, which means it is crucial for businesses to have a plan to follow incase of emergency.  Our Emergency Ready Plan (ERP) is a step-by-step program made by us, specifically for your business, to ensure that all important structures, exits, and utilities, as well as important contacts, have been identified and documented.  This app works to provide business owners with a plan to follow in an effort to prevent any and all emergencies from escalading to the point of no return.  Our ERP includes the following:

• A no-cost assessment of your facility. 
• A precise profile document containing the most critical information about your facility.
• A list of emergency contacts for every situation.
• A guide to the recovery process after the disaster has occurred.
• Facility details such as water, gas, and electricity shut offs.
• A list of the primary contacts for your business as well as establishing SERVPRO as your primary restoration and disaster mitigation provider.
• A step-by-step guide explaining the exact steps to take as soon as you notice your facility is in danger.

Why is it important for my business to have a plan in place?

Did you know that 50% of small businesses that endure a catastrophe aren't able to recover? The majority of businesses that are able to survive, do so because they had an emergency plan in place.  Having a plan serves as a mental insurance policy, protecting one's "peace of mind".  Protecting your facility will also protect yourself and your employees, establishing a certain amount of trust between your "employee" and "employer" relationship.
