Disasters are unpredictable, but they do not have to catch your business unprepared. Commercial disaster response planning helps business owners mitigate risks and recover after an emergency. With over 25 years in the industry, Cotton GDS has a reputation for providing safe, custom disaster response and restoration solutions for facilities within the hospitality, medical, education, multifamily, government, industrial and energy power plant industries.
How To Begin Commercial Disaster Response Planning
The first step to emergency preparedness for businesses is to analyze risk. Companies can face various risks, including natural disasters, technology-related hazards and human-made disasters. Examples of hazards may include:
Floods, tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, and pandemics
Failure of equipment, software, and other systems
An assessment of your company's risk profile can help us determine the types of mitigation and remediation services you may need.
How To Prepare for a Disaster
Mitigation and preparation planning come next in commercial disaster response. To prepare for an emergency, you must be fully aware of any danger to your company. Cotton GDS has a 24/7 Business Intelligence Center (BIC) that monitors weather activity and worldwide disasters that may impact our clients. We can ensure that you receive prompt notice of potentially severe weather so you can plan accordingly. Our BIC immediately notifies us regarding unpredictable catastrophes so crews and equipment can mobilize quickly.
What Cotton GDS Does After a Disaster
Following a disaster, we act on the plans made following our assessment. Cotton GDS will begin the recovery process immediately, handling debris, remediation and reconstruction. Disaster remediation aims to bring your property back to its pre-event state as quickly and safely as possible.
Your building may also require extensive construction. To help reduce business interruption, Cotton Logistics can offer temporary facilities and catering services so your business can continue operating. We have temporary buildings, fabric structures, and trailers for your employees to work and rest.
