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

When you run a company, you may end up working more hours than you anticipated. With all that you’re responsible for, it becomes more than a full-time job...You manage a workforce, pay employees, keep up with a constantly changing environment, compete in the market, innovate, establish a strong internet presence and so much more. It’s like attempting to walk a tightrope all day, every day.

Businesses are busy places, and it is no surprise that some important tasks like disaster preparedness might slip the mind. But a single setback can quite likely permanently change a company’s course.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), 40% of small businesses never reopen following a natural disaster, and another 25% of those that do open close within a year.

Given the recent shutdowns as well as concerns about the future, companies need to have a well thought out crisis response strategy in place now more than ever. And yet 75% of small businesses don’t have a natural disaster response strategy in place, and this has to change.

SERVPRO of South Atlanta is available to help Atlanta and Fulton County companies build an Emergency Ready Plan. We can design an emergency plan that is suited to your unique environment by conducting a comprehensive examination of your individual needs and concerns.

We’ll cover everything from workplace fires to data recovery and backup so you can just hit “go” and the plan will go into effect immediately, minimizing downtime and long-term cost. We can produce a comprehensive strategy to help you and your teams operate together, including everything from the chain of command to alternative suppliers, workspaces and everything in between.

Take caution not to hinder your company’s progress by failing to plan for disasters. Contact your local SERVPRO professionals if you need assistance developing an Emergency Ready Plan.
