Preparing for Storm Damage

SERVPRO of Hattiesburg responded to a church in New Orleans that sustained damage following Hurricane Ida. Our team provided mitigation services.

Hurricane Ida was the second major hurricane of the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Ida impacted Louisiana on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina on August 29th, 2021. Due to the rapid formation, many Louisiana and South Mississippi residents were left with very little notice to prepare resulting in catastrophic and widespread damage as well as a long and arduous recovery process. Restoring your property following a major hurricane has its own set of complications apart from the actual restoration process. Being adequately prepared makes the process much quicker and easier.

How to Prepare?

One of the best ways you can prepare ahead of the hurricane is to have an emergency plan in place for your home or business. Ideally, this preparation is done before hurricane season and reviewed each year. This plan should include choosing your restoration vendor, especially if you own a business or manage a large property so, in the vent of major damage, your vendor will be prepared to respond with adequate resources and personnel. Following a major hurricane, it is common for resources and personnel to be in short supply. Creating an emergency plan and choosing your restoration vendor ahead of time will educate and setup expectations of the standards and practices of the insurance restoration process.
