WHAT TO DO BEFORE HELP ARRIVES
How to be the First Responder for your Property While Help is On the Way.
Hurricanes, floods, fires and freezes don't wait for a convenient moment. The properties that recover fastest are the ones whose teams know their roles, protect what matters and act decisively in those first critical hours.
Cotton Global Disaster Solutions (GDS) has spent three decades responding to catastrophic events across the country. Now we're sharing what we've learned so you can be ready before you ever need to make the call.
Webinar: “What to Do While Waiting”
The time between the disaster event and the arrival of recovery crews can shape everything that follows. Learn from Cotton University’s “What to Do While Waiting” course that can help you and your team take the right steps before, during and after a disaster.
In this session, you'll learn how to:
Keep your team safe and informed in the immediate aftermath of a disaster
