Ready to Start your Emergency Ready Profile. Call today: 229-439-2048!

Although not directly on the coast, the communities of Southwest Georgia are no stranger to the effects, including property damage, that hurricanes and tropical systems can produce.  From high winds driving rain through windowsills, to tornadoes dismantling roofs, the variety of possible damages during hurricane season is vast.  The importance of preparation for this time of year is well known, but how can you specifically help prepare your BUSINESS for a damage disaster? With the SERVPRO Emergency Ready Profile (ERP)!

SERVPRO Emergency Ready Profile…What’s That?

The SERVPRO ERP is a concise document that contains critical information about your business that may be needed in the event of an emergency.  Your ERP is secured digitally and accessible via the SERVPRO Ready App from a smartphone or tablet no matter where you are!

What does it include?

Facility details, including water, electric, and gas shut off valve locations and photos.

A list of preferred vendors for the property.

Facility key contacts, helping to establish the line of command for authorizing work.

Additional documents and photos as desired, such as insurance declarations pages, floor plans, or blueprints.

How does this help when disaster strikes?

By having all your pertinent business information in one location, you can more quickly access needed details during an emergency.  This can allow you to both locate and stop the cause of loss faster (such as a water main leak by turning off water to the building), as well as start the process of mitigation (by contacting your SERVPRO of Albany and Americus representative directly).  This immediate plan of action results in a reduction of business interruption for your facility.

How do I get started?

Call SERVPRO of Albany and Americus today!  One of our business development representatives will come out, walk your property with you, gather key information for the profile, and compile.  The best part of all…this is a COMPLETELY COMPLIMENTARY service that we offer!  That’s right, a no cost assessment!  We look forward to hearing from you soon and getting your Emergency Ready Profile established.  Call now to learn more: 229-439-2048
