Three smiling individuals pose together at a community business event aimed at promoting the local economy. We are proud to stand alongside local leaders in Escondido, supporting business growth and strengthening our community ties.

At SERVPRO of Escondido, we understand the importance of supporting local businesses and strengthening the economic foundations of our communities. A few months ago, we had the honor of participating in an event aimed at boosting local businesses in Escondido, joining forces with community leaders to explore ways we can all grow together.

The event was hosted by the San Diego & Imperial Small Business Development Center Network and the Escondido Chamber of Commerce, and we were proud to stand alongside figures like David Zumaya, often referred to as the "Mayor of San Diego," and Christian Garcia, District 3 Representative Councilman and acting Deputy Mayor of Escondido. It was a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, build relationships, and reaffirm our commitment to being a positive force in the local economy.

At SERVPRO of Escondido, we believe that collaboration is key to success. By working together with other businesses and community leaders, we can continue to build a thriving environment where local businesses can flourish, and the community can prosper. We look forward to continuing this important work and are excited to see the impact we can make together.

Drying out crawl space We do work in crawl spaces. Leaving it went under there can cause mold to grow rapidly.

As we jump into spring the spring showers come along with it. Floods are the number one cause of property damage. Hurricanes high winds and water can wash away homes. Copious amounts of water can be very strong. Flood maps exist to give homeowners an idea of what zone homes are in for flood damage. Some have high flood warning while others are low but still have some caution. If you are in a high risk flood area there is flood insurance to invest in. Severe water damage can create a hefty bill. You can check where your homes falls on a flood zone at FloodSmart.gov.

Take all the necessary precautions to insure that you have the least to none damage in your property.

Emergency Kits

9/19/2022 (Permalink)

Some groups require additional supplies in an emergency. When packing your emergency kit, consider these groups:

Children

Children may not understand the seriousness of a natural disaster, but they need to react nonetheless. Practice evacuation and sheltering plans with children so they respond instinctively when a disaster hits. Kids should know where to find the safe room at home and know emergency contact numbers in case a storm occurs while the family is separated.

Disasters can be traumatic for children, so include comfort items and small activities in your emergency kit. Don’t forget diapers, formula, and other essentials for babies.

Older Adults

Disasters are more dangerous for the elderly. Just consider this statistic: New Orleans residents over the age of 60 accounted for 75 percent of the bodies found immediately after Hurricane Katrina, despite accounting for only 15 percent of the population. Because they tend to be less mobile and more isolated than younger people, seniors have a harder time evacuating when a natural disaster happens.

Older adults should coordinate their emergency plan with local relatives or neighbors, especially if they don’t drive. It’s important that seniors have a support network who can keep them informed during a natural disaster, and assist during evacuation or sheltering in place.

Seniors, as well as others with chronic health conditions, must pay special care when assembling their emergency kit. A natural disaster may prevent access to regular healthcare providers. For that reason, it’s important to include medical information like medications and dosages, medical records, insurance documents, and important healthcare and support system contacts.

Pets

No one wants to leave pets behind in a disaster, but if you’re not prepared, you may have no choice. Pet owners should use both collars with tags and microchips to ID pets, identify pet-friendly places to shelter, and name a backup caretaker who can step in if a disaster strikes while you’re away from home.

Include food, medications, leashes, collars with ID tags, veterinary records, and a portable pet carrier in your emergency kit so you can care for pets during a disaster.

There are many programs and resources to help in a natural disaster. But resources take time to become available, and when a disaster happens, you need to be able to respond immediately. Have a plan so your family can react quickly when a natural disaster happens. It could save your life.
