Disaster Hurricane Preparation Checklist for Business

drymeout — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:17:26 +0000

Hurricane Safety is as important for homeowners as it is for business owners. As part of our Hurricane Preparation for Business Series, here is a general checklist of what to do before during and after a disaster:

1. Know Your Risk. Check your hurricane evacuation level and FEMA flood maps to determine if your business location is vulnerable to storm surge or freshwater flooding. Have your building(s) inspected by a licensed professional to find out if your workplace is vulnerable to hurricane force winds and what is recommended to retrofit.

2. Take the Necessary Precautions. If a storm threatens, secure your building. Cover windows. Cover and move furniture/equipment to a secured area.

3. Always Protect Your Data with Backup Files. If dependent on data processing, consider an alternate site. Make provisions for alternate communications and power.

4. Make Plans To Work With Limited Cash, No Water, Sewer or Power for Two Weeks. Store emergency supplies at the office.

Lawsuit Drama in the Midst of Flood Damage Crisis Nashville

drymeout — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 18:49:53 +0000

Today we read an article portraying recent events in Nashville. Further to the drama created by the extreme flood of 2010, the city now has a lawsuit on its hands. Apparently, when President Obama declared the area a disaster area, making it able to receive federal aid, the city opened up a bid for the city water cleanup to disaster recovery companies. As cited in the article, the job was both given and taken away to the lowest bidder on the same day because the company, Bamaco Inc., could not deliver a performance bond. Bamaco now has the city tangled up in a lawsuit that “appears to be mainly focused on extracting damages from the city” and Bamaco’s lawyers have “suggested that bidding irregularities could lead the federal government to strip Metro Nashville of the aid from Washington that it is counting on as flood recovery efforts continue”.

Who says that disaster recovery is boring?

An interesting note here is that Bamaco has a history of filing suits around disaster periods. Ironically, the Attorney for Bamaco states, “We recognize that filing a lawsuit in the context of an enormous disaster, when the city is in a recovery mode, is something where we’ve got to tread very lightly…But gosh, we also feel like these are the times when it is most important that the government follow fair procedures.”

It is certain that this suit will go on for a while. In the meantime, it is our hope that the parties get everything figured out to a point where the citizens of the area are not affected negatively. The residents of Davidson County have suffered enough and desperately need their cities and streets to be cleaned up.

Thinking about the Poor People in Tennessee’s flood rampage

Thinking about the poor people in Tennessee’s flood rampage

Just wanted to take a moment to put out some positive energy for the residents of Tennessee. Their battle with severe storms and flash floods over the last few days has been horrible. At Advanced Restoration, Inc., we deal with disasters caused from storms and water damage all the time but seeing footage of the Nashville Titans football stadium in Nashville under water blew me away.

I am happy to report that the water damage to the stadium had been reported to be minor. Equally, I am unhappy to hear about the billions of losses, including loved ones.

To our associates in the restoration industry in Tennessee, our hats are off to you as we know what jobs lie ahead for you as you help restore Tennessee to it’s former beauty.

Water-related damage causes millions of dollars of losses each year. A sampling of 63 percent of California home insurers found that water-related losses totaled $1.7 billion between 1997 and 2001. Based on the survey data, the average cost of a water claim in 2001 was $4,730, up from $2,537 in 1997, nearly doubling the average cost of a water claim in four years.
