Make A Plan

We here at SERVPRO of Licking County know that emergencies happen everyday; we have supported countless home and business owners with water, fire and storm property damage. We understand that your lives are busy and it can be overwhelming to add being prepared in case of an emergency to your to-do list. However, we also know that being prepared can make a huge difference when faced with a disaster and can get your life back to normal more quickly afterwards.

Start making an emergency plan with your family, friends and household by discussing the types of disasters that could strike and what to do at different times of the day. Discuss how to prepare and respond to emergencies that are most likely to happen where you live, learn, work, and play. Keep your emergency plan as simple as possible and use places that are very familiar and hard to forget. Identify responsibilities for each member of your household and plan to work together as a team.

Fill out a Family Emergency Plan and make sure each member has a copy on them at all times.
