Lighting storm with clouds. Los Angeles homes can prepare today for a safer tomorrow!

Mother nature can be extremely unpredictable. In 2018, wildfires in the United States caused $16.5 billion worth of fire damage, slightly above the $16 billion in water damage from Hurricane Michael. While some prevention is possible, some situations are simply so unexpected that the damages are unavoidable. 

However, with the assistance of Ready.Gov, you can become better prepared for the unexpected. Here are a few ways you can be best prepared:

  • Make a Plan - Establish an evacuation plan, determine a ‘meeting point’, and rehearse your evacuation plan annually.
  • Build a Kit- Create an ‘emergency supply’ bag for quick departure in the event of an emergency. These typically include shoes, clothing items, and non-perishable foods.
  • Business Preparedness - Create a Readiness Plan for your business to allow for quick response by all staff members. This includes water shut off valve, gas shut off valve, etc. Consider contacting SERVPRO for a FREE Emergency Ready Plan
  • Emergency Alerts - Look for an Emergency Alert Program in your local state or county. These provide alerts before disaster strikes to allow time to take cover and prepare.
  • Pet Preparedness- Pets are family! Have a plan prepared to assist with the evacuation of all Pets at your premises. 

While some disasters are inevitable, the actions you take today could prevent further damage in the future. Contact us today as SERVPRO is always available to assist with all preparedness plans in the Los Angeles area.
