Disaster Recovery Plan Checklist

Disaster Checklist

Disaster can strike at any time. While it is nice not to have to think about it, a little preparation and forward-thinking can go a long way. Especially in California where we are exposed to the mother nature – and human made – disasters all year round.

Of-course, emergency services pull out all the stops when disaster does strike, but it never goes amiss to have a family or organizational plan of action in place, because emergency services may not be able to respond immediately to every part of the damage.

So what should we be thinking about when it comes to disaster preparedness? We’ve elaborated a checklist of items for you to think about and put into place so your road to safety can be as painless as possible.

Food and Water

It is an idea to have a portable pantry of products with a long shelf-life, taking into account the number of people you will be responsible for. Canned products and other prepared food that doesn’t require cooking but also caters to the nutritional needs of you and your family or organization are a good option. Do you have an old suitcase lying around that you could use? Remember to check the dates every six months and update your emergency pantry when necessary.

PPE

Masks and gloves could be particularly useful depending on the nature of the disaster. Even extra clothes could go into your emergency PPE kit.

Power

Keep your phones charged and a stash of spare batteries for essential items like flashlights. Can you keep a car charger in your car?

Social Media

We aren’t joking! There are plenty of Facebook pages and alert Apps which can warn us of any impending dangers, whether weather related or otherwise.

Cash

It’s a good idea to have a handful of cash with your physical preparedness kit, in case of power and connection shortages making card payments for things like food, water, and fuel difficult.

Fuel

Although it isn’t always possible, if you live in a more rural area then keeping your car at least half full of fuel is sensible. If you are in a rush to get away from a sweeping wildfire, stopping for fuel might not be feasible or even safe.

Awareness and Education

Know the risks in your local area. It is impossible to know exactly how a wildfire will evolve, but you can think in advance about your escape plan if the fire comes from one direction or the other.

It is disconcerting to have to think about the worst-case scenario, but often it is this kind of thinking that can save lives. The most important thing is your safety, so of course you must use common sense and get away from danger as quickly as possible in the case of disaster – if it is unsafe to go to your garage to retrieve your emergency kit, leave it.

Fire Restoration

One thing that many property owners don’t know is that areas that appear not to be affected by fire damage can still be dangerous. Smoke penetrates into deep areas of a structure, which can lead to odor and hidden damages. For this reason, it is especially important to have a trained fire restoration professional, such as Superdry, inspect your building. Superdry Restoration can determine the exact extent of your smoke and fire damage.
