Storm-Damaged Business in Brandon?
1/19/2022 (Permalink)
Brandon businesses can rely on SERVPRO® of Douglas & Otter Tail Counties to restore storm damage 24-hours a day. The United States Small Business Administration offers these tips for storm safety for your business and employees:
- Heaters, snow blowers, generators, and cold-weather equipment should be located where it is most likely used
- Keep driveways, walkways, and doorways clear of snow and ice
- Open water faucets slightly to let them drip to keep water flowing through the pipes that are vulnerable to freezing. Ice may still form, but the open tap helps prevent the pipe from bursting by relieving any built-up pressure.
- Names and phone numbers of your heating contractor, plumber, fire department, insurance agent, and building owner should be easily accessible
- Have someone assigned to check indoor temperatures should your place of business be vacant for long periods
- Ensure you have an emergency communication plan in place before the storm, evacuation, or threat
- Have all employees, vendors, and client contact information on hand
- During an evacuation, consider your phones lines- redirection to cell phones, answering service, or Google Voice could be critical
- Following the storm, notify all critical people of the next steps, based on damage
