Is your Commercial/Office Building Prepared for a Storm?

11/22/2020 (Permalink)

With technology today, we can usually predict when a large storm is going to hit. Here are some helpful tips to prepare you and your loved ones for a storm and prepare your office building too!

1. Tune into your local weather radio station, TV channel, or app.

2. Depending on the type of storm, you must evaluate your situation.

• Your location matters. You need to find a safe place that offers shelter.

3. Create an emergency plan.

• Know where you are going (locate fast exit points or where to stay)

• Memorize emergency phone numbers

4. Prepare an emergency kit. Each kit should include:

• Flashlights

• Batteries

• Non perishable foods

• Water bottles

• Blankets

• First Aid Kit (essential medications)

5. Prepare your home.

• Make sure your insurance is adequate

• Learn how to safely turn off your power, gas, and water

• Remove tree branches or other dangers close to your home

• Check your roof and gutters clear

After hurricane Harvey and Irma we saw that preparation is key. Water and fuel became items that were not available like they normally would have been. Plan for disasters with your family, and if you ever need help, give SERVPRO of West Evansville a call.
