The Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to bring seven to 10 hurricanes this year. In this regard, it is important for business owners to give their emergency preparedness plan a quick review to minimize possible property losses and reduce expenses when a hurricane hits.

Despite adequate preparations however, there are unexpected circumstances which could result to your property experiencing severe water damage. ServiceMaster by Reed has prepared these hurricane recovery tips for your business to reopen doors as quickly as possible.

Place safety as your top priority

Safety should always remain at the top of the list. Dangers still lurk even after the initial flooding event stops.
Floodwaters bring electrical hazards, chemical contamination and other dangerous substances which pose serious risks to human health. Refrain from entering your property until an inspector determines that the building is structurally sound.

After the structure has been declared safe to enter, it's time to take steps to examine the damage and start the recovery and restoration process.

Restoring Your Business After a Flood

Contact your insurance provider

Call your insurance provider right away to start the claims process for major damages. It's better to contact your agent early since the filing process can be long and frustrating.
Document the damage through taking photographs or videos.

Wear proper protective equipment

As mentioned, floodwaters can bring harmful debris such as broken glass and metal fragments.
To reduce the likelihood of cuts, scratches and infections, wear proper safety equipment such as closed toe shoes and gloves before trying to clean up.

Survey the damage

It's normal to feel overwhelmed when assessing the extent of the damage to your business. Take time to process the impact of the storm.
Remember to take photos of damages and make detailed notes for your insurance and company records.

Remove rubble and salvage what you can

Inspect the area for any unharmed or repairable items and store them in a safe, dry place until building restoration is complete.
If the debris can be handled safely, clear rubble and begin minor repairs. Don't hesitate to ask for help.
