If you suffer from storm damage and need a professional, compassionate, understanding team; look no further than SERVPRO

This year for National Preparedness Month, join your community in preparing for emergencies and disasters of all types, and leading efforts to encourage the community as a whole to become more prepared. "Disasters happen" and not only do they devastate individuals and neighborhoods, but entire communities. Learn how to be prepared! 

Make a plan and practice

Do you have an evacuation and shelter-in-place plan? Do you have a plan to communicate with your family before, during and after an incident?

Do you have an emergency supply kit? 

Learn Life Saving Skills

Do you or someone in your family know CPR?Could you turn off your natural gas if necessary? Do you know how to properly take cover? Knowing these life skills could mean life or death in an emergency situation for you, your family or your neighbors.

Check your Insurance Coverage

Have you reviewed your insurance coverage recently to see if you're covered in a disaster? Evaluate which hazards are relevant to your area and obtain the appropriate insurance for your home, business, or other property and become familiar with your coverage.

Save for an Emergency

Are you financially prepared in case of a disaster? Does your family have an emergency fund for unexpected expenses after a flood or a fire? Check out FEMA's Emergency Financial First Aid Kit for an in-depth document to help you identify and compile important documents and account information all in one spot. Just search "EFFAK" on fema.gov for the free PDF.

Whether its flood, fire or a hurricane, we must work together as a team to help ensure our families, businesses, places of worship, and neighborhoods are prepared.
