Importance of Emergency Response:

• Safety of the Occupants and Workers - disasters have the potential to expose occupants to various safety hazards and contaminates.

• Contain the Loss - the quicker the response time the greater the chance of containing the loss and preventing further damage, saving property and time.

• Secure at Risk Structures and Contents - In the event of structural damage, quick response can be needed to secure the property, to save contents, or prevent future damage. Often times this may involve structural shoring, roof tarping, board up or tree removal.

• Can Reduce Insurance Settlement Value - In the event of water intrusion, water can quickly spread to other areas of the house causing structural damage and mold. Quick response can reduce the amount demolition required and repairs needed to the structure.
