Ready for Whatever Happens!

3/20/2017 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Union, Towns, Fannin & Gilmer Counties is always "Ready for whatever happens!"

As severe weather approaches, you and your family are reminded to check our emergency supply kits, we are also reminded of the SERVPRO slogan "Ready for whatever happens".  The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommends having at least one full emergency supply kit for your home and smaller portable kits for your office and vehicles.


A basic emergency supply kit should contain at least the following:



  • Water (one gallon per person per day)

  • Food (non-perishable 3-day supply)

  • Manual can opener

  • Battery operated radio, preferably a NOAA weather radio

  • Flashlight and extra batteries

  • First aid kit

  • Whistle to signal for help

  • Clothing

  • Dust masks or bandanas

  • Plastic sheeting, garbage bags and duct tape

  • Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities

  • Hygiene items

  • Important documents; copies of insurance policies, ID and bank account information

  • Cash

  • Fire extinguisher

  • Matches in a waterproof container


Remember, this is only a basic kit.  Your circumstances may require additional items.  Check out the U.S. Department of Homeland Security website on readiness at www.ready.gov for more information.  You can also contact SERVPRO of Union, Towns, Fannin & Gilmer Counties to learn more and be "Ready for whatever happens!"
