Do you have an emergency plan set in place for your commercial property?

Do you have a plan in place in case disaster strikes your commercial building? It is so important to be prepared BEFORE a fire, water, or storm event happens.Without a plan, your costs can skyrocket. Here are a few strategies to avoid future headache:

• Keep Important Items Above Ground Level

If a disaster event takes place and floods any areas of storage, it can leave a real mess. Make sure to keep important documents, inventory, tools, and electronics above ground level in case of flooding.

• Backup All Data

Always, always, always backup your data! We live in a digital world and to lose digital data can quickly destroy a business. It is so important to keep your data in a cloud to ensure that you can always recover it. Local computer experts can help you with this if you need.

• Have an Emergency Ready Plan (ERP) in Place

Nobody plans for damage to their property and it can be difficult to gauge just how much damage may occur. At SERVPRO of Moorhead we encourage all businesses, large or small, to create an ERP.
