Emergency Prep: What to do before a disaster strikes

When disaster strikes a multi-family property, the first 60 minutes determine whether you face a minor repair or a total loss. Join SERVPRO for an actionable seminar designed to give property managers a 'First Responder' roadmap to mitigate damage, manage tenant panic, and protect your bottom line.

Don't wait for the pipes to burst, learn how to build your property’s defense strategy before the next emergency hits.

What You’ll Learn:

• The First 60 Minutes: Emergency Response Protocols - Providing a "First Responder" checklist for property staff, focusing on water shut-off locations, identifying electrical/slip hazards, and knowing when a unit requires immediate tenant evacuation for safety.
• Effective Communication with Tenants- How to manage resident expectations during a disaster, including explaining the drying process, noise from equipment, and the legalities of unit habitability during restoration.
• Pre-Loss Planning: The Emergency Ready Plan (ERP)-The importance of having digital property profiles, shut-off photos, and priority service agreements stored in the cloud before a freezing pipe or flood occurs.
• Navigating the Insurance Maze- A guide for property managers on what specific documentation and photos are required to ensure the owner's insurance claim is processed smoothly without denials.

Don't wait for the pipes to burst, learn how to build your property’s defense strategy before the next emergency hits.
