Is your business ready for the unexpected? Let SERVPRO of Dover/Stillwater help you prepare for disaster with an ERP!

We know how many different hats you wear as a business owner. It takes a lot of brain power, ingenuity and determination to run a successful business! You have to plan for the future while also tackling day-to-day issues, which can be overwhelming at times. 

Unfortunately, planning for the future is an incredibly important part of safeguarding your business in the long-term. Did you know that a quarter of all businesses that suffer a disaster close and then never reopen? SERVPRO® is Here to Help® you build a reliable emergency plan so that you can stay in control no matter the situation.

Dealing With Emergencies 

Navigating disasters can be overwhelming no matter how large or destructive they are. You have to focus on keeping your staff safe while also making sure that you focus on controlling the situation as quickly as possible. 

In order to do that, you need to know what to do in any scenario! That’s where we come in. Our team can help you create an Emergency Ready Plan for your property to help you work through any sort of disaster situation as soon as it happens. 

Having a plan in place can help you stay focused amidst the chaos, which can ensure you stay on track for addressing repairs and getting back under your feet faster. Our Emergency Ready Plan will outline what to do before, during and after your disaster situation so you are guided every step of the way. 

The Creation of the Plan 

The first step of your plan creation will include a no-cost assessment of your property. We will inspect every room in your building and identify the different potential threats that could impact your business throughout a typical year. We will then create a Profile Document based on our findings. This document outlines crucial escape routes, fire extinguisher locations, first-aid kits and other emergency information. We can also create specific plans for things like creating go-bags or formulating a temporary remote working location.  

We will also make sure to create a strong communication plan for your employees so that everyone will be connected as the situation progresses. For example, if your warehouse catches on fire, you will know who is in charge of calling 911, who is in charge of grabbing fire extinguishers and who knows how to use them properly. 

Stepping in to Help
While having a plan in place can help mitigate a certain amount of damage, it sometimes isn’t enough to completely avoid damage. We can help you in this aspect, too! In addition to helping you prepare for disaster, we can help you clean up from one as well. Our team will get right to work cleaning, sanitizing and restoring your property. 

We know that every minute that you are closed has an effect on your livelihood, so we work quickly to make sure your property is restored efficiently and thoroughly.
