September is National Preparedness Month!
8/25/2021 (Permalink)
As a business owner or manager, you are a leader in your community and have the opportunity to set an example for your employees, customers and community to follow. This September 2021, join our community in preparing for emergencies and disasters of all types and leading efforts to encourage the community as a whole to become more prepared.
Disasters not only devastate individuals and neighborhoods, but entire communities, including businesses of all sizes. As an employer in your community, having a business continuity plan can help protect your company, its employees and its infrastructure, and maximizes your chances of recovery after an emergency or disaster. Ready Business asks companies to take three simple steps: plan to stay in business, encourage your people to become Ready and protect your investment.
This year, the Ready Campaign and Citizen Corps, with support from Coalition Members across the nation, including a wide range of businesses and organizations, is focusing National Preparedness Month (NPM) on encouraging individuals, families, and businesses to take active steps toward becoming Ready. We must work together as a team to ensure that our families, businesses, neighborhoods, and communities are Ready. Ready Business, an extension of the Ready Campaign, helps business owners and managers of small and medium-sized businesses prepare their employees, operations and assets in the event of an emergency. The Business section of Ready.gov contains vital information for businesses on how to get started preparing their business and their unique needs during an emergency. For more information on NPM, or for help preparing your business, call 1-800-BE-READY, 1- 888-SE-LISTO, and TTY 1-800-462-7585 or visit Ready.gov/business where business owners can download or order free Ready information, publications, and much more.

SERVPRO of Virginia Beach at hole #1
On Tuesday, July 28th, the Marketing Team (Amber Megrath, Angela Meyer and Corey Doe) of SERVPRO of Virginia Beach attended the 17th Annual Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay Foundation Golf Classic at Bayville Golf Course as a hole sponsor. The event supports the Foundation’s mission, “Bringing Joy to Life”. The day was extremely hot but, as always, attendees enjoyed our Orange Crush drinks, handed out in a SERVPRO of Virginia Beach stadium cup, to help cool them down. Our snacks were also a hit. For information about the tournament or to express interest in 2021 participation, you can contact Ashley Allman, Executive Director of the Foundation and Director of Public Relations at 757-496-1106. SERVPRO of Virginia Beach is very much looking forward to next year’s Golf Classic.
