September is National Preparedness Month. It is a time used to raise awareness about the importance of being prepared for any type of disaster that could strike at a moments notice. According to the government website Ready.gov, there are over 25 different possible disasters. Some of them include, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, wild fires and winter storms. Although earthquakes, hurricanes and wild fires are out of the norm in Illinois, the other two, floods and winters storms, are something we know very well. SERVPRO has seen their fair share of both and we never shy away from the challenge. When it comes to these disasters, is it important to have a plan in place before hand. This will allow you to navigate the situation more clearly and not in a panic. Having an emergency kit put together is important as well. The kit should contain the necessities, having it put together before hand allows you to grab it and go in a much more efficient time. Ideally, the kit should contain enough supplies to last you at least one week in the event you are stuck in your home.
