What is a SERVPRO Emergency Plan?

As a SERVPRO client, our representatives can curate an Emergency Readiness Plan, or “ERP” tailored for your business. An ERP is a plan that aims to lessen damages caused during disasters by helping you become familiar with your business’ structure before a loss occurs. During the creation of the ERP, a SERVPRO disaster mitigation specialist will walk you through your building and identify problem areas, water shut off locations, and best practices for communicating and presenting the ERP information to your team.

On average, 50% of businesses close due to an unexpected disaster, this number could be lessened should businesses have an ERP in place. Knowing what to do during a water or fire damage can make a significant difference in helping to minimize financial effects to your business. SERVPRO developed our ERP, or Emergency Ready Profile, as a response to these issues. SERVPRO benefits business owners by providing an immediate plan of action should a disaster occur. The ERP provides a detailed outline of all the information our crews would need to begin the restoration process. The ERP is designed to be a quick reference system for our crews that gives them information for the structure they otherwise could take a lot of time to discover.
