Is Your Business Prepared for a Disaster?

5/23/2017 (Permalink)

50% of all businesses close after a disaster.

A disaster is any event that disables, interrupts, or adversely affects the ability to operate a business in a normal manner. Fifty percent of businesses never recover from a disaster. Those that do, usually had a contingency plan. SERVPRO® of North Raleigh and Wake Forest provides complimentary ERP’s for commercial businesses in our service area. 

The Emergency Readiness Profile provides businesses with critical information when faced with a disaster. It allows businesses to know what to do, who to call, and what to expect in advance of a mitigation.

ERP’s Include:

• Snapshot of each building owned or managed by the business


• After hours emergency contacts


• Brightly labeled shut off locations


• Concise report with eight pages of information including photos


• And more!

A SERVPRO representative will come to your business and walk the property with you discussing the information required to be included in the ERP. The representative will also go over a typical loss, discussing what the disaster has left behind and how it can be handled depending on the type of loss.

The ERP is at no cost to the business but it will undoubtedly save the company time and money during a disaster. Timely response during a crisis can minimize business interruptions and associated loss revenue. There is also the potential of thousands of dollars to be saved in secondary damages, and allows for restoration of the business with minimal downtime.

The ERP is available in several different formats, hardcopy and in a convenient app. Call us today to schedule your appointment at 919-790-1222.
