Emergency Response Planning for Storms

4/9/2024 (Permalink)

Be prepared before the storm hits!

As we've seen time and time again, Mother Nature can be unpredictable and unforgiving, especially when it comes to storms. Whether it's a hurricane, tornado, or severe thunderstorm, the key to minimizing damage and keeping your loved ones safe is preparation. At SERVPRO®, we understand the importance of having a solid emergency response plan in place before disaster strikes. That's why we're here to share some essential tips for creating an effective emergency response plan for storms.

• Assess Your Risks: Start by identifying the types of storms that are common in your area. Is your region prone to hurricanes, tornadoes, or heavy snowfall? Understanding your specific risks will help you tailor your emergency response plan accordingly.

• Create a Communication Strategy: Communication is key during any emergency situation. Establish a communication plan with your family members, neighbors, and coworkers. Make sure everyone knows how to reach each other in case of an emergency and establish a designated meeting point if you need to evacuate.

• Build an Emergency Kit: Put together an emergency kit that includes essential items such as non-perishable food, water, flashlights, batteries, a first aid kit, and any necessary medications. Keep your kit in a designated location that is easily accessible to everyone in your household.

• Secure Your Property: Take steps to protect your home and property from storm damage. Trim trees and bushes, secure outdoor furniture and loose objects, and consider installing storm shutters or reinforcing your windows and doors.

• Know Your Evacuation Routes: Familiarize yourself with the evacuation routes in your area and have a plan in place for how you will evacuate if necessary. Keep in mind that roads may become congested during an evacuation, so plan ahead and leave early if instructed to do so.

• Stay Informed: Stay informed about weather conditions in your area by monitoring local news and weather reports. Invest in a weather radio or download a weather app to receive real-time updates and alerts.

• Have a Restoration Plan: Despite your best efforts, storms can still cause damage to your property. Have a restoration plan in place with trusted professionals like SERVPRO who can quickly respond to mitigate damage and help you get back on your feet.

By taking the time to create an emergency response plan for storms, you can help protect yourself, your loved ones, and your property from the devastating effects of severe weather. Remember, it's better to be over-prepared than caught off guard when disaster strikes. Stay safe and be proactive in your storm preparedness efforts!

Mold Remediation After Storms: What You Need to Know

1/8/2024 (Permalink)

Mold remediation after storms and flooding requires immediate attention!

Storms and flooding can wreak havoc on homes and properties, often leading to the development of mold. Mold thrives in damp and humid environments, making post-storm situations ideal for its growth. At SERVPRO®, we understand the urgency and importance of addressing mold issues promptly after storms and flooding. In this blog, we'll discuss essential steps and tips for effective mold remediation to restore your property safely.

Understanding Mold After Storms and Flooding

Excessive moisture from storms and flooding creates favorable conditions for mold growth. It can appear within 24-48 hours in hidden or hard-to-reach areas, such as behind walls, under flooring, or within ceilings.

Steps for Mold Remediation After Storms and Flooding:

1. Safety First

Prioritize safety by wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and masks before entering the affected area. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent exposure to mold spores.

2. Assessment and Documentation

Thoroughly inspect the property for visible mold growth and document the extent of the damage. Take photographs or videos as evidence for insurance claims and restoration professionals.

3. Professional Assistance

Engage certified mold remediation professionals like SERVPRO of Northwest Ventura County for a comprehensive assessment and remediation plan. Our trained technicians have the expertise and specialized equipment to handle mold remediation effectively.

4. Containment and Removal

Contain the affected area to prevent the spread of mold spores. Professionals will use advanced techniques such as HEPA filtration and antimicrobial treatments to remove mold safely.

5. Drying and Dehumidification

Proper drying and dehumidification of the area are crucial to prevent further mold growth. Our SERVPRO® team employs industrial-grade equipment for thorough drying to eliminate moisture.

6. Cleaning and Restoration

Clean and sanitize affected surfaces and belongings using appropriate methods and antimicrobial solutions. Restoration professionals will also repair or replace damaged materials to restore your property.

Mold remediation after storms and flooding requires immediate attention and professional expertise to ensure a safe and thorough restoration process. If you're dealing with mold issues after storms or flooding, don't hesitate to contact our SERVPRO® team for immediate assistance. Our certified technicians are equipped to handle mold remediation and restore your property to a safe environment.

Being Prepared for a Storm

California Storm Preparedness

California may not be known for its stormy weather, but it can still experience flash floods, high winds, and excessive heat. It is important to be prepared for these events.

Flash Flood Warnings

Flash floods are sudden and severe rainstorms that can cause rivers to overflow and flood low-lying areas. If you see a flash flood warning, it is important to avoid driving into high water areas. Turn around, don't drown.

High Wind Advisories

High wind advisories are issued when sustained winds are expected to reach 30-35 mph with gusts of 40-45 mph or greater. High winds can damage roofs, uproot trees, and start wildfires.

Excessive Heat Warnings

Excessive heat warnings are issued when temperatures are expected to reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher for several days in a row. Extreme heat can be dangerous, especially for the elderly and people with chronic health conditions.

How to Prepare

You can prepare for stormy weather by:

• Having a plan in place for what to do if there is a flash flood warning, high wind advisory, or excessive heat warning.
• Signing up for local alerts so that you are notified of any warnings or advisories.
• Having an emergency kit that includes food, water, first-aid supplies, and other essential items.
• Making sure your home is in good repair and that your roof is in good condition.
• Trimming trees around your home so that they are less likely to fall in high winds.

What to Do if You Have Damage

If you have damage due to a storm, it is important to call a professional restoration company like SERVPRO™. SERVPRO's trained and experienced professionals can help you repair your home and restore it to its preloss condition.

Call SERVPRO today at 805-507-5507 if you have any questions about storm preparedness or if you need help with storm damage repair.

Why does it seem like rain storms always hit after high winds? Ventura County is no stranger to high wind warnings, especially around the Fall Season. Although we don’t see many rainy days, it always seems that after the high winds start, rain follows. Here you can see a photo of some damage caused by the heavy winds. Always inspect your roofs after a heavy wind to make sure your shingles are intact. Roofs should be replaced every 10 years or so. Consult your roofer for their recommendations. Clear your gutters to avoid water collecting on your roof and causing damages.

When Fire Or Water Damage Strikes You Can Be Ruined Or Ready.

Is your business prepared for a storm or natural disaster? If you had an emergency situation, would your business be prepared?

50% of businesses do not reopen after an emergency. 

A SERVPRO Emergency Ready Profile is an immediate plan of action. It saves valuable time in the event of a disaster.

In Southern California we have to be ready for an earthquake or other natural disasters. When foundations and buildings shift, water and gas leaks can occur.

Knowing what to do, who to call and what to expect in advance is the key. This is a free service SERVPRO of Northwest Ventura County provides by scheduled appointment.

We gather and organize with you:

• Property overview information, such as “Before photos” from a facility walk-through
• Emergency contacts, identifying whose authorized to sign paperwork to get the mitigation work started
• Insurance Contact Information
• Utility Contact and water main shut off valve location

The importance of timely mitigation:

• minimizes the effects of water and fire damage
• allows your property and business to be restored at a faster rate
• reduces the amount of time your business is inactive

We have everything you need to be prepared and have helped many Ventura businesses recover from storm damage to their facilities.

Ventura Storm Threats: Flash Floods & Mudslides

10/13/2020 (Permalink)

Flash Floods & Mudslides can occur with little warning. BE READY! -Photo By: Mike Eliason

As we start nearing the close of Fire Season we start to face another threat that we don't always think of until it's upon us. Flash Floods & Mudslides. As our neighbors in Montecito showed us after the terrible 2018 fire season, the devastating mudslide tragedy in Montecito hit too close to home. 

It is important to remember as we come out of fire season just how nature reacts to the charred debris and loose soil. A combination of Fire, Strong Winds and Heavy Rains, are the perfect recipe for disaster.

Although in California we don't see as much rain as other parts of the U.S, it is when we least expect it, that emergencies occur. 

Take note of your surroundings for excess in debris and large branches. If your home is on the Ventura Hills, does your home have trenches that re-direct heavy water? Do you have reflection walls? Be aware of the warning signs and have an emergency kit ready.

Check out Ready.gov for more information on how to protect your homes against Flash Floods and Mudslides.

WATCH, ADVISORY, WARNING-What Does It All Mean?

10/13/2020 (Permalink)

Be informed and ready! Regardless of the level, you should always be aware of your local weather. Be prepared, Be safe!

We see it on all our local news stations all the time. Wind Advisory, Fire Watch, Heat Warning! What does it all mean? 

Here is a quick reference guide to help clear it up:

WATCH: In this case it means there is a chance of a condition happening and usually covers a large geographical area for a substantial amount of time. So in other words, the severe weather hasn't occurred yet but upcoming weather and conditions are setting up to potentially create dangerous conditions.

ADVISORY: Advisory is usually right above a Watch but below the level of a Warning. At this point the expected weather is likely to occur. We see this a lot in our area as Wind Advisories when the Santa Ana Winds are projected. 

WARNING: At this point, the projected severe weather, is occurring, or likely to occur and you are being advised to prepare yourself and your home. Heat Warnings, High Wind Warning, Red Flag Warnings are all common warnings in our local area. 

Check out the National Weather Service for more details on specific warning types.

Earthquakes & Wind Storms: How Ventura Residents Can Protect Themselves

9/30/2020 (Permalink)

Always Be Prepared For an Earthquake or Wind Storm!

Throughout the United States, different regions deal with different types of disasters. You have the Midwest, who live under threat of Tornadoes. Northern & Eastern States deal with freezing temperatures. In the South, we will hear of Hurricane Warnings from June-October. In our local community of Ventura, we have Earthquakes and High Winds that fuel aggressive Fire Seasons.

When Earthquakes hit, it can cause damage to water and sewer lines. These problems don’t always reveal themselves right away. Before you know it, your home can have water within the walls, ceiling or floor. Gas lines can also become disconnected during an Earthquake and cause a fire. If you notice a sulfur (rotten egg) smell, call the gas company right away. It is important to check your home after you have experienced an earthquake.  You can find more information on preparing for an earthquake here.

High Winds come and go throughout the year in our Ventura Community. Make sure you are receiving alerts for your local area. When a High Wind advisory goes out there are a few things you can do. Move all patio furniture indoors. Keep all yard tools and equipment covered or within your shed. Keep debris around your home clear and dispose of large branches. Keep surrounding trees trimmed regularly. Inspect your roof for any loose shingles and repair if needed. When replacing your roof, keep extra shingles for situations like this. Loose or broken tiles can lead to water leaks in your home so it is important to take care of them early.

Always keep SERVPRO in mind when you have Storm Damage. SERVPRO of Northwest Ventura County can help you through it! 805-507-5507

Ventura Residents: We Specialize in Flood Cleanup and Restoration!

When a flood like this happens, you may not know where to start! Call SERVPRO to take it from here

Basements can flood at any time. Heavy rains and stormy weather can cause severe water damage to your home and business. Basements are inherently prone to flooding due to them being located at the lowest level of a building. As we all know, water likes to travel downward and seep into lower levels. Although there are several reasons a flooding can occur, water damage has the same characteristics. Here are a few other reasons a Ventura basement can flood:

• A blocked or failed sewer lateral pipe

• Heavy rain causes surface water to pool around your home

• Storm sewer backup

• Sanitary sewer backup

• Foundation drainage failure

• Water supply-line break or hot-water tank failure

• And many more

When you think of Stormy Weather you don’t typically think of California however as we know, California can still get Flash Flood warnings and High Wind Advisories, not to mention Excessive Heat Warnings. It is always a good idea to be ready and prepared for what may come.

Flash Flood Warnings:  Sudden and severe rainfall. Rivers around us that may typically lay dormant will be flowing with several ft. of water. It is important to watch and avoid driving into high water areas. Some damage that can arise are:

                              *Water damage to first floors

                              *Flooded Basement

                              *Leaky roof

High Wind Advisories: We see these most often starting in October when the Santa Ana winds start blowing.  You can see gusts of winds with winds as high as 60 mph.

                               *Roof Damage

                               *Tree Uprooted or falling down on home or power lines

                               *Wildfire Danger-High Winds can fuel wild fires and make them uncontrollable

Excessive Heat Warnings: When temperatures rise to triple digits, you may receive alerts for excessive heat. Mixed in some rain and you have a perfect storm.

                                 *Wildfire Risk

                                 *A/C Leaks are common when we have High Temperatures

How to Protect Your Home or Business In a Flood Zone

4/13/2020 (Permalink)

If your home or business has recently suffered from flood damage, then contact SERVPRO of NW Ventura County 805-507-5507.

Each year homeowners face the possibility of flooding, whether it’s from a heavy rain storm or burst piping. It’s important to stay prepared & to protect your property if you live in or work near a flood zone. Although you can’t completely stop a flood, you can minimize the impact that water has on your property. Below are a few steps you can do to help keep water from invading or destroying your property.

Be Prepared

The best thing you can do if you think you live in a flood zone is to have a plan of action in advance. Here is a list of things to consider:

• Store all important documents in a watertight secure container.
• Have a separate lockbox for jewelry & any other valuables.
• Contact your marketing representative at SERVPRO of NW Ventura County in advance and set up an Emergency Ready Plan for protecting your home & getting a quick service response after a flood.

 Use Sandbags & Flood Barriers

Let’s face it, some homes are more susceptible to water damage. Lower flood water, however, can be contained by simply laying out sandbags & setting up flood barriers around your doors. Even if some water manages to get, sandbags & flood barriers can reduce the water damage & can save you thousands of dollars in repairs.

Look at Your Home’s Construction

If you are building a new home or renovating your current one, then invest in components that are waterproof or create a tighter seal around the structure. Some of these include:

• Concrete flooring instead of wooden floorboards
• One-way valves in your plumbing to prevent water backup in the plumbing system
• Waterproof all of your electrical outlets
• Cement render & lime plaster
• Water resistant window & door frames
• Flood skirts around brick homes

If storm damage happens in your home, immediate water removal saves both your house and bank account from dealing with bigger, more complicated issues. One mistake that property owners make is to assume because surfaces look dry, they are.  This is rarely true.

SERVPRO of Northwest Ventura County serviced a  homeowner's property with stormwater removal needs in Ventura, CA. where the homeowner cleaned and dried what he assumed was all of the floodwaters that entered his home. Later on, however, a foul odor remained and they called us for help. Situations like this are not unusual with DIY flood cleanup.

Pets need a plan too!

Pet Storm tips from SERVPRO of Northwest Ventura County -

Did you know that 95% of dog and cat owners don't have disaster plans for their pets? Really? SERVPRO of Northwest Ventura County urges you - make sure this isn’t you!

You might have made a disaster kit for you and family, so let's make one for your pet too. Include medical records and medication, food and water, can openers, leashes, blankets and pet carriers.

Tips:

• Always keep pets inside during a storm. Animals easily become confused and can run away from home during a storm or other disaster.
