POST COVID- Back in Business: Are you ready for the Next Disaster?
7/15/2021 (Permalink)
As each day passes, what seemed to be our new normal is now once again changing. Has everyone just dropped their face masks off at Goodwill and bid them all “Good day”? Seems so! This could mean that we are almost out of the weirdness of being a part of a pandemic in the 21st century. We are all just so excited to be with people in close proximity.
Back in Business
As a business owner, you may also experience everyone’s excitement as they rush back into their social life especially during the weekend. That is amazing news!
We don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade but as a business that works closely with cleaning up after disasters, we want to make sure that our local businesses are prepared in case of another one. Here’s a practical and proactive way to prepare for one.
EMERGENCY READY PROFILE
We recommend setting an ERP or Emergency Ready Profile for your business. This is ABSOLUTELY FREE!! This ERP is a mobile application used to gather important information for your home and/or business that can help during and after a disaster. Here’s the type of information you can add to the app.
Recommended information to store to your ERP.
- Emergency contact information
- Building information and description
- Contact information for local emergency services, utilities, municipalities, and vendors
- Map of your business
- Collections of images of important rooms and expensive equipment with an area to add notes or instructions
- Emergency instructions in case of a fire, water, or storm disaster
You can add as many images, instructions, and details to this mobile app as you want! Get started right now!
