Preventing & Preparing Your Office for Disasters/Damages

10/19/2022 (Permalink)

Your office space reflects your business practices and your company’s overall look. It makes sense that customers would trust businesses that are well-kept and go the extra mile to take care of the health and well-being of everyone around them. Whether your Nashville commercial property experiences the effects of a natural disaster or not, it’s best to be proactive about maintaining your business. One of the best ways to be proactive is to prepare your office for disaster by creating an emergency kit, which is just the start. Your commercial property deserves to show its best face forward, especially post-disaster when your business needs it the most.

What Are The Most Effective Ways To Prepare Your Nashville Commercial Property For Disaster?

• Create an emergency kit with essentials you can grab at a moment’s notice which can include:

• Water
• A first aid kit
• Prescriptions
• Non-perishable food
• Crank-powered weather radio
• Crank-powered cell phone charger
• Cell phone

• Who would you call during an emergency? If you haven’t created a contact list of all your emergency contacts, we advise you to do it as soon as possible! Establish communication guidelines before, during, and after a natural disaster so that your team knows what to expect and how they should go about backup plans.
• Use existing resources to help you prepare instead of waiting until the last minute. You can access resources from OSHA, FEMA, and even the Internal Revenue Service. You can even incorporate these teachings into your organization’s continuous education training so these tips can stay top of mind. 

What Is Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned, And How Can It Help Your Business?

Our defensive pathogen cleaning program goes beyond routine janitorial practices. In other words, it’s viral pathogen cleaning that goes deep into the surface to ensure a thorough clean. With over 50 years of experience in biochemical spill remediation and decontamination as the foundation, this program runs on the three C’s:

• Consult: We know that not all businesses are built the same, so we’ll consult with you and create a training program centered around your business’s unique needs. 
• Clean: This is where our trained technicians conduct an expert deep clean using EPA-approved, hospital-grade cleaning solutions. During the process, we are conscious of CDC guidelines and never waver from them. 
• Certify: When you see the signature green emblem at the front of a business in your Nashville community, you’ll know that that business is committed to the safety and well-being of its customers, employees, and stakeholders. 

For many business owners, the work they do is the heart and soul of their mission, and when a natural disaster puts business operations on hold, it’s challenging to get back on track. At SERVPRO of Belle Meade and West Nashville, we offer temporary move-outs and pack-outs so you can conduct business elsewhere while we carry out the restoration process. That way, you won’t lose another hour of productivity that has been lost due to water, fire, or storm damage. Need us this fall? Contact us at (615) 242-9391. We are IICRC-certified, so you know you’re in good hands!
