If the day comes where your business is hit with disaster or emergency, you can rest assured SERVPRO of Marietta West will be there to help.

When you run a business, you have a full-time job as well as an infinite to-do list causing what’s more like an overtime job. It’s reasonable that you have a lot on your shoulders.Whether it’s overseeing recruitment, bookkeeping, inventory or advertising, it’s a lot. And all of your hard work might be compromised if you are not prepared for the worst.

To get to this point, you’ve put in a huge lot of work. That’s a great reason to do everything possible to give your firm the best chance of surviving a disaster.

It may be difficult (if not impossible) to get your company back up and running after a fire, severe storm or other disaster. According to FEMA, 40% of small businesses close permanently after a disaster, with a large percentage of businesses that manage to reopen closing again within a year.

So, how can you make a disaster recovery strategy that works? Having a plan in place for what to do next if your organization is hit by a destructive incident could be the difference between survival and failure.

Around three-quarters of small businesses in the U.S. do not have a disaster plan. It’s only reasonable that businesses that have a plan in place have a better chance of bouncing back.

SERVPRO of Marietta West helps companies in disaster preparedness by creating a personalized Emergency Ready Plan that is suited to priorities, location and profession. If you have a plan, you will be able to limit delays since you will know what to do if disaster strikes.

Disasters are tough to deal with already on their own. Take advantage of the opportunity to plan for a disaster before it happens. We’re ready to help you with your Emergency Ready Plan right now.
