Disasters Can Strike At Any Time - Make Sure You Have Your Emergency Go-Bag!

7/9/2019 (Permalink)

Plan ahead for emergencies with a go-bag kit ready to go at all times.

The fires in California during the past few years emphasize that the need for an emergency plan for each household is essential in staying safe during these emergencies. SERVPRO of Santa Cruz expresses that an important component of practicing safety is making an Emergency Go-Bag.

SERVPRO has put together a list of items that are needed for your Emergency Go-Bag. These items should be ready to go and are simple to grab during an emergency if you must evacuate quickly. You might not always be at home when a disaster strikes so make sure you keep additional supplies in your car and at work. Make sure to take your Go-Bag with you if you are not going to be home for an extended period of time. Disasters are unpredictable.

Put the following items together in a backpack, plastic bucket, or another easy to carry container. Make sure each member of your family or household has one of these Go-Bags that include supplies for your pets, in case family members are separated during the evacuation. 

• Flashlight
• Radio- Battery Operated
• Batteries
• Whistle
• Emergency Cash and Change for Laundry and Phone Calls
• Sturdy Shoes
• Changes of Clothing
• Water and Food to Last a Few Days
• Photos of Family Members and Pets for Identification Purposes
• List of Emergency Contacts
• List of Allergies to Food and Medications
• Copy of Health Insurance and Identification Cards
• Prescription Medications and First Aid Supplies
• Extra Toiletries
• Extra Keys to Your Home and Vehicle
• Any Special Needs Items for Children, Seniors or People With Disabilities

Make sure you are taking the correct precautions for keeping yourself and your family members safe during these unpredictable emergencies.

Call your local fire department or American Red Cross for further preparedness tips and practices. SERVPRO of Santa Cruz is the right company to contact in a water or fire emergency. Call us any time at 831-457-1997.

Emergency Readiness - How Ready Are You?

Be Prepared with an "Emergency Ready Plan" from SERVPRO!

For a property owner, a worst-case disaster scenario involving fire or water damage can seem unthinkable and then suddenly become a reality. In the aftermath of a disaster, quick response time by a disaster recovery and restoration specialist can help minimize property damage as well as inventory or home contents loss. To provide home and business owners with a quick and convenient way to call in the experts when disaster strikes, SERVPRO of Santa Cruz has the SERVPRO Ready Plan Mobile Application. In the confusion and panic that often surround a disaster, a property owner or manager can reach out for expert help right from the scene, using their cell phones."

Our “ERP” application allows both residential and commercial property managers and owners to create an Emergency Ready Profile that contains critical facility information that can help speed up response time after fire or water damage occurs. In addition to property details, the application tracks prior loss history, utility shut off locations, and key contacts; stores photos of the damage; and integrates local weather forecasts and more, including the address and contact information for our franchise.

Through the application, the user can quickly call SERVPRO of Santa Cruz or submit an electronic "First Notice of Loss" (FNOL), setting the wheels of recovery in motion. Rapid response from a disaster cleanup and restoration specialist can help the property owner evaluate options, start the insurance process and take the right steps from the beginning to bring their property back to normal, "Like it never even happened."
