When disaster does strike, knowing what to do and who to call saves time – and a fast response is key to minimizing damage and downtime.

In 2013, SERVPRO signed on as a national sponsor of the American Red Cross Ready Rating™ program, a free, web-based program designed to help businesses, organizations and schools become better prepared for emergencies. The Red Cross Ready Rating Program allows individuals to assess their readiness for a disaster, so they can take all necessary steps before disaster strikes to protect their property from damage and loss. But, when disaster does strike, knowing what to do and who to call saves time – and a fast response is key to minimizing damage and downtime. That’s where SERVPRO’s Emergency READY Program can help.

"Up to 40% of businesses never re-open their doors after such disasters; SERVPRO’s partnership will enable more businesses, schools and organizations to become better prepared. We are excited to have SERVPRO join us in community outreach efforts to educate and highlight the importance of community preparedness in neighborhoods across the country." Here are the following Five Essential Steps to Preparedness – the cornerstones of the Ready Rating program:
