Most Homeowners and Businesses really do not like thinking about disasters or fires.
After 38 Years of operating Emergency services, and providing for family and business recovery solutions most simply freeze or go into some sort of shock when a disaster occurs. Many of us rely upon a spouse or associate for support or guidance when things become unimaginable.
RESTOPRO has found that by having or discussing a disaster before it occurs becomes helpful in organizing the family or business. Everyone has in internal strength, or a support mechanism. Organization and a reliable management team often becomes the difference between floundering or swimming toward a safe haven. But the fact is we must think about disasters, floods or fire safety and take steps to protect our families, homes and belongings.
RESTOPRO sponsors community events, attends gatherings, and promotes Wellness programs. We offer clarity when overwhelmed with disaster preparedness, assist in overcoming procrastination on taking big steps. We are sharing 10 simple steps you can take to prevent floods or fires from happening and to protect from damage if and when a disaster occurs.
1) Check Your Smoke Detectors & Moisture DetectorsTest your Audible detectors every month and replace the batteries each year. After 10 years, you should replace your detectors with updated and new technology.2) Put Your Valuables In Safe areas or A Fire SafeOne important way to give yourself peace of mind is keeping your valuables and irreplaceable items up off the ground in storage areas and in a fire proof safe stored above floor levels prone to experience flooding from fire suppression.3) Make An Escape PlanYou should plan at least two exit plans for the home and the community, simple discussions affords a uniform plan, work with government centers or where are the shelters located. Contact local community resources as they frequently have a plan and shelter locations identified.4) Create An Emergency Communication PlanOne of the biggest mistakes often overlooked is to plan for how to communicate when towers go down and cellular communication ends. Frequently assumptions are that Telcom will never stop as technology evolves, Where will you meet loved ones, or how can you gain access to communication. 5) Update Vital Equipment Replace Sump Pumps every 10 Years, Check Valves and Back up Batteries 5 years, and If you have a battery with Caps for water refill with distilled water annually. 6) Scan Important Documentation documents prone to be damaged or destroyed by water and store in a cloud or offsite location, provide key security information to loved ones, including passwords and ID codes, often when electronics are destroyed, they are unrepairable7) PHOTO OPTION Due to improvements in resolution Instead of scanning documents, you can also just snap a photo and upload to a cloud or to a family member, PAPER photos in a disaster in most cases are not recoverable, are prone to water damage or get consumed by mold due to elevated humidity levels8) Teach Young Children How To Call 9-1-1You may not realize that the family, pets and Children all can play an active role in pre-loss notification and alertness. Yes we will always worry the kids, but it’s very important to teach them what to look for and how to dial 9-1-1. But also emphasize how serious a false call would be. Also teach them the other fire safety basics such as to stop, drop and roll, and flood warning signs such as squishy carpeting, and seeping water9) Trip Hazards One of the simplest and easiest things to promote safety is to allow a clear lane of traffic, most people do not think of a fireman coming thru the home to save a life wearing an oxygen tank and all the protective gear, Allow a 36 in path thru every room, debris in a disaster could spell the difference between life and death rescue.10) ElectrocutionKeep Items Electronics off the Floor when not in use, offer instruction to business or family staff to not leave appliances plugged in when not in use. Escaping a flood or fire can become limited or obstructed when dealing with cords, appliances, or electrical hazards. Trying to reset power after an event can be dangerous and may overload a circuit when re-established
