The ERP: a supplement to your emergency plan

6/15/2022 (Permalink)

When we first show most property managers or facility managers one of our Emergency Ready Profiles, their response is usually “we’ve already got one of those.”

To an extent, they’re right – most facilities have some kind of emergency plan in place already. They have their evacuation routes posted in case of fire, extinguishers placed at regular intervals in hallways, and drills set for every six months.

But if you think that a SERVPRO ERP is the same thing as your pre-existing emergency plan, then you’re missing the point.

SERVPRO ERPs can be an excellent supplement to the planning that you already have in place. Unlike your standard plan, which is probably stored in a 5-inch thick binder and locked in someone’s drawer, the ERP is a quick reference that’s accessible to anyone.

Trouble with water, fire or even mold? Anyone in your office can grab your ERP and figure out the proper way to respond in about 20 seconds, even if they’ve only worked at your office for 20 seconds.

Past that, the ERP is available via a mobile app and web portal, so it’s accessible anywhere at any time.

How many people can say the same about their current plan?
