After the Fire: How To Help Your Business Recover Quickly |
|
A fire can cause real damage, but whether or not your business survives the disaster is often determined by the actions that you take after the flames are out. These three tips can help your business recover from the devastation of a fire. 1. Document Everything. Disaster scenes are chaotic places. Avoid costly mistakes by documenting everything. 2. Contact Your Insurance Company. Contact your insurance agent immediately to report the damage. Prompt action may help you avoid delays and missed deadlines. 3. Have a Disaster Plan. Ideally, you will have a SERVPRO Emergency Ready Profile completed before the fire. At minimum, businesses should keep a contact list, a copy of all accounting records, and a current inventory of equipment, supplies and merchandise in a separate, off-site location so that this vital information isn't lost or destroyed if disaster strikes. When the flames are out, you'll still have to face the mess left behind, but you don't have to do it alone. SERVPRO of Benton/Carroll Counties is your local source for professional commercial restoration services.
