Storm Preparedness & Emergency Response Planning (ERPP) in Nashville, TN.

What would you do if a storm, fire, or flood struck your home? For homeowners and hotel owners, condominium managers, and realtors alike, planning for a significant weather event is a critical but often overlooked aspect of daily operations. With the safety of loved ones and pets, guests, tenants, and employees at stake, you want to ensure you have the most precise picture of your building’s layout, risks, and routes. More than that, you want your restoration company to have it, too. ASDT is committed to serving the local community in Nashville and throughout the state, offering valuable resources to help clients prepare for emergencies.

ASDT provides emergency response and preparedness services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

At ASDT, we’ve spent the last four decades ahead of the curve with technologies, tools, and techniques to support our customers in emergencies. Our dedicated team works tirelessly during emergencies to restore safety and property. That’s why we’ve introduced iGUIDE 3D imaging to our emergency pre-planning portfolio. Before disaster strikes, we’ll arrive at your property to take a complete 360-degree panoramic view of your building and create a highly accurate floor plan and blueprint. We assist clients before, during, and after emergencies. Then, if ever you need us, we’ll be there with all the knowledge, insight, and expertise required to take immediate control of the situation.

Why Have an Emergency Response Preparedness Plan?

Natural disasters and accidental damages require a quick response and an accurate assessment.

Time is of the essence to protect your property, your people, and your personal property. An ERPP protects both people and property by allowing us to gain critical foresight into your building’s layout, including the room sizes, window placements, appliances, and square footage. Advance planning, including the use of a checklist, ensures all preparedness steps are completed. Then, we create a response plan that handles all the logistics beforehand. If and when a disaster occurs, our teams will arrive fully prepared and ready to start the recovery process.

As part of the ERPP process, we recommend assembling and maintaining an emergency kit and keeping emergency supplies and documentation up to date. This ensures you are ready in any case of emergency, whether natural or accidental. This 3D model can also prove pre-loss condition when it comes time to file a claim with insurance. ASDT can provide this information alongside our other expert analyses and findings to help build the most potent presentation strategy. Best of all, this service comes at no cost and no obligation to you—just a few hours of your time is all it takes to prioritize your safety in an emergency.

Water Damage

Fast action is key to a safe environment, whether the water comes from a storm, flooding, rising flood waters, or burst pipes. ASDT is experienced in handling all types of water damage, including sewage backups and sewage-related issues, ensuring thorough cleanup and restoration. For your safety, never enter deep or fast-moving floodwaters, as there is a risk of drowning.

Fire Damage

Lightning strikes and electrical issues are common causes of fire damage during storms and other natural disasters. After a fire, there is also a risk of carbon monoxide exposure, which can pose serious respiratory health hazards if not properly addressed. ASDT has helped businesses overcome the most extensive fire events, and our team uses specialized protective equipment during fire damage restoration to ensure safety and compliance with industry standards.

Mold Damage

Within 24-48 hours of a flood, the chances of mold growth in your property grow exponentially. It is crucial to act immediately to prevent further mold damage. Before restoration begins, be sure you’re working with a fully trained and licensed mold remediation company that can find the source of mold growth using advanced technology.

Storm Preparedness FAQs

From June to November, states throughout the Southeast are at risk of hurricane damage, including hurricanes and tropical storms, which can bring high winds, flooding, and storm surge to your area. Before the storm arrives, make sure to take the following steps:

  • Understand the risks of storm surge in your area and how it can lead to flooding and damage.
  • Develop an evacuation plan if you live in the storm’s direct path, and identify a safe place or shelter to go to.
  • Prepare to leave the area if advised by officials.
  • Decide in advance whether to evacuate or stay based on official guidance.
  • Know to turn around if you encounter flooded roads—never drive through floodwaters.
  • Plan to stay indoors or in a safe shelter during the storm until it is safe to leave.
  • Assemble NOAA-recommended disaster supplies to have on hand, including enough food and water for your family for several days.
  • Grab your emergency kit and important documents if you need to evacuate quickly.
  • Keep your phone charged and avoid contact with wiring and plumbing during lightning storms.
  • Double-check your insurance policies to ensure you have the coverage for post-storm repairs.
  • Be ready to reinforce your home by boarding windows, securing doors, removing outdoor furniture, and trimming trees.
  • Wait for officials to declare it safe before returning home after the storm.
  • Consider the needs of ill or vulnerable family members in your emergency plan.
