Even though Western, PA is not impacted by hurricanes, preparing for and responding to early warning signs of storms is especially important

Last year’s unprecedented hurricane season has been a breaking point for the southern region of the United States. It has made the region embrace resilience with both strength and scale and prompt a major shift in the way the government, private sector and commercial partners are tackling the recovery efforts.

The southern states are now focused on investing in becoming both climate-smart and fiscally resilient to bring maximum benefits to their population.

Even though Western, PA is not impacted by hurricanes with any degree of magnitude, preparing for and responding to early warning signs of storms are especially important. They make it possible for people and organizations to prepare for impacts.

While warnings cannot prevent all casualties and emergencies, they can save lives, reduce suffering and prevent economic losses. The same can be said of a strong, well thought out disaster recovery plan.
 
Pre-planning involves identifying and communicating risk. It is the first step in effectively managing disaster risk. This can be done through risk management and developing an Emergency Response Profile from SERVPRO of Mercer and Lawrence Counties.

This profile allows decision-makers to make planning decisions ahead of time that will lessen the loss that is usually associated with disaster.

Together with SERVPRO of Mercer County, business owners can come to know the intricate ins and outs of their facility that will help save time and money in cleanup costs and reduce loss of revenue by reducing downtime from storm damaged facilities.
