2019 HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS LUNCHEON WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED LATELY: BY SERVPRO DISASTER RECOVERY TEAM

SERVPRO DISASTER RECOVERY TEAM JOSH MARAZZITO • LARGE LOSS/CATASTROPHE RESPONSE COORDINATOR • SPECIALIZES IN LARGE LOSS RESPONSE PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND THE SOUTHEAST, INCLUDING CAT EVENTS IN FL, TX, AL, MS, GA,AR, NC AND SC

WHAT 2018 TAUGHT US • TYPES OF DAMAGE FROM HURRICANES CAN VARY • SEVERE INLAND DAMAGE IS POSSIBLE • DIFFERENT DAMAGE CREATES DIFFERENT NEEDS • WIDESPREAD EVENTS POSE LARGER PROBLEMS • ISOLATED EVENT CREATED BIGGER PROBLEMS • MULTIPLE EVENTS CREATED MAYHEM • RESOURCES AND LABOR ARE AT A PREMIUM

VIDEO • THIS IS A PROJECT THAT SHOWS JUST HOW BAD THE DAMAGE WAS 15 MILES INLAND. WE PERFORMED THIS PROJECT IN 17 DAYS.

TORNADO • CAN CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE • ROOF DAMAGE WITH AC REMOVAL • WINDOWS BLOWN OUT • RESULTING IN WATER DAMAGE • DEBRIS ACROSS CAMPUS

FLOOD • CATEGORY 3 CONTAMINATED WATER • MAJOR IMPACTS IN LARGE AREAS • THIS CAUSED MOST OF THE DAMAGE IN TEXAS • CAUSED BY SYSTEM SITTING OVER ONE AREA FOR A PROLONGED TIME • MORE DEMO THAN OTHER TYPES OF DAMAGE

WIND DRIVEN RAIN • MOSTLY CATEGORY 1 OR 2 WATER DAMAGE • SHORTER DOWN TIME BECAUSE OF REMEDIATION TECHNIQUES REQUIRED • AREAS AFFECTED CAN VARY GREATLY IN SIZE AND DAMAGE EXTENT • OFTEN CREATED BY WINDOW SEEPAGE

ROOF DAMAGE • MOST OF WORK WE PERFORMED FROM IRMA • HEAVY WINDS MOVED AC UNITS CREATING HOLES OR PEELED BACK COVERINGS • ALLOWED WATER FROM TOP TO BOTTOM OF BUILDINGS

MAJOR RESIDENTIAL DAMAGE • ROOF LEAKS IMPACTING THOUSANDS OF HOMES • NOT MOVING FAST ENOUGH CAUSED MOLD VERY QUICKLY • VERY UNIQUE CHALLENGES ON MILITARY BASE

Storm Surge • TREATED SIMILARLY TO FLOOD WATER • CAUSES DAMAGE FROM WATER BUT ALSO SAND AND OCEANIC DEBRIS • CAUSES DAMAGE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF BUILDING • CAN BE COMBINED WITH OTHER WIND RELATED DAMAGE

AFTER THE STORM • HAVE AN EMERGENCY RECOVERY PLAN! • EMERGENCY ACTION TEAMS ON SITE • ATTEMPT TO MITIGATE LOSSES • PATROL PROPERTY ONLY WHEN SAFE TO DO SO • MONITOR SYSTEMS THAT MUST REMAIN ON-LINE • TURN OFF ELECTRICAL SWITCHES IN A POWER FAILURE

AFTER THE STORM • BES SURE IT IS SAFE TO ENTER THE FACILITY • NOTIFICATION TO INSURANCE PARTNER • TAKE PHOTOS AND DOCUMENT LOSSES • EVALUATE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS AND OTHER SAFETY HAZARDS • CONTACT KEY PERSONNEL • CONDUCT SAFETY INSPECTIONS
