How Good is Your Disaster Recovery Plan?
Large Versus Small Disaster Recovery Provider?

The most critical factor in recovering from a disaster is time. In our experience, the longer it takes to respond to a disaster, the higher the cost of recovery. ATI has developed a tool to help you recover quickly from a disaster. Our Emergency Response Agreement (ERA) provides for priority service in times of peak demand, providing for rapid response and efficient recovery. Our ERAs feature pre-determined pricing, taking the guesswork out of your recovery budget process. An ERA from ATI can be an important part of your Disaster Recovery Plan, providing peace of mind should an unfortunate disaster event occur.

Disaster Recovery Planning is often an afterthought. For those entities that are fortunate enough to have a plan, many times it has been developed without the benefit of a Disaster Recovery firm. ATI has helped thousands of clients prepare for and recover from disaster events. When identifying your Disaster Recovery Team of internal and external stakeholders, be sure to include more than one Disaster Recovery provider. This will ensure that you are adequately prepared if an emergency or disaster occurs.

Emergencies and disasters often pose major challenges to smaller companies. These challenges can impact their ability to respond quickly, staff the work, and deal effectively with a myriad of resulting environmental issues.

Small firms and franchises often have limited local resources and can be quickly overwhelmed. Their resources may be adequate for day-to-day events, but when dealing with a large-scale disaster or widespread emergency storm event, small teams can quickly find themselves overwhelmed. With multiple emergencies occurring at once, small firms and franchises may not be able to respond at all.

For larger emergency and disaster events, larger firms with scalability are critical. With more resources readily available at their disposal, larger Disaster Recovery firms will:
• Implement a quick response & recovery plan
• Limit operational interruption
• Contain and mitigate environmental, toxic or biological exposures
• Be in full compliance with regulations to avoid unnecessary fines & penalties
• Safeguard all stakeholders from potential illness or injury

When identifying your Disaster Recovery Team of internal and external stakeholders, be sure to include one or more large Disaster Recovery providers. This will ensure that you are adequately prepared if a larger-scale disaster occurs.

What Are the Steps of Disaster Mitigation?

Commercial disaster mitigation involves a series of steps aimed at reducing the impact of disasters on businesses. While the specific actions may vary depending on the type of business and the nature of potential disasters, here are some common steps involved in commercial disaster mitigation:

Risk Assessment

Identify potential hazards and assess the risks they pose to your business. These may include natural disasters (such as earthquakes, floods, tropical storms, hurricanes, and wildfires), technological disasters (power outages, equipment failures, etc.), and human-caused disasters (i.e., structure fires, vandalism, theft, cyberattacks, etc.). Conduct a thorough analysis of your business operations and vulnerabilities to understand the potential impact of these and other hazards.

Business Continuity Planning

Develop a comprehensive business continuity plan (BCP) that outlines strategies to maintain or quickly resume critical operations during and after a disaster. Identify essential functions, key personnel, and critical resources necessary for business continuity. Establish procedures for emergency response, evacuation, communication, backup systems, and alternative work arrangements.

Emergency Response Planning

Create an emergency response plan (ERP) that includes clear guidelines for immediate actions during a disaster. Define roles and responsibilities of employees, establish evacuation procedures, and determine communication protocols with emergency services and relevant stakeholders. Conduct drills and training sessions to ensure that employees are familiar with the ERP. You should also consider entering into an agreement with an established, reputable reconstruction company before disaster strikes. If you are making an ERP, consider making an Emergency Response Agreement with ATI Restoration. This will allow us to hit the ground running and begin providing you priority service in the event of an emergency.

Physical Infrastructure Protection

Take measures to protect your business's physical infrastructure. This may involve implementing structural reinforcements, installing fire suppression systems, securing equipment, and maintaining backup power sources. Consider the location and design of your business premises to minimize exposure to potential hazards.

Data Backup & Recovery

Implement a robust data backup and recovery system to safeguard critical business information. Regularly backup data and store it offsite or in the cloud to ensure its availability even in the event of a physical disaster. Establish procedures for data recovery and restoration to minimize downtime and operational disruptions.

Insurance Coverage

Review your insurance policies to ensure they adequately cover potential disaster-related losses. Consult with an insurance professional to understand the specific risks your business faces and secure appropriate coverage. This may include property insurance, business interruption insurance, and liability insurance.

Supply Chain Management

Assess the vulnerabilities in your supply chain and establish contingency plans to mitigate disruptions. Identify alternative suppliers, establish communication channels, and consider diversifying your supplier base to minimize the impact of a disaster. Maintain open lines of communication with key suppliers and establish a plan for post-disaster recovery.

Employee Safety & Well-Being

Prioritize the safety and well-being of your employees. Establish protocols for employee safety during disasters, provide training on emergency procedures, and ensure the availability of necessary safety equipment. Consider offering employee assistance programs to support their physical and mental well-being during and after a disaster.

Regular Testing & Evaluation

Periodically review and test your disaster mitigation plans. Conduct tabletop exercises, simulations, and drills to assess the effectiveness of your plans and identify areas for improvement. Learn from past incidents and update your plans accordingly.

Community Engagement

Engage with local emergency management agencies, community organizations, and neighboring businesses to foster collaboration and share resources. Stay informed about local emergency response plans, participate in community preparedness initiatives, and contribute to collective efforts to enhance disaster resilience.

What Are the Steps of Commercial Reconstruction?

There are two major priorities when a commercial property suffers catastrophic damage:

Rebuilding physical infrastructure
Restoring business operations

At every step of the commercial reconstruction process, ATI Restoration is committed to providing expertise, efficiency, and meticulous attention to detail. We understand the importance of minimizing disruption and getting businesses back on track as quickly as possible. Through our specialized skills and comprehensive services, we aim to help businesses recover and rebuild after a disaster.

The specific tasks involved in reconstruction will depend on the type of disaster and the extent of the damage. Generally speaking, however, the commercial reconstruction services provided by ATI Restoration consist of the following steps:

Damage Assessment & Documentation

IICRC-certified technicians at ATI Restoration will assess the extent of the damage to the premises. We evaluate any structures down to their core, as well as inventory contents, equipment, and furnishings. All losses are thoroughly documented through written records and photographs. This provides support for insurance claims and aids us in determining the scope of repairs.

Develop a Reconstruction Plan

Using sophisticated diagnostic imaging and software, the ATI Restoration team develops a detailed and efficient reconstruction plan. This plan outlines the scope of work, timelines, and necessary permits or approvals. It is also tailored to each customer’s specific needs and goals.

Estimates

Providing accurate estimates is an essential component of planning out reconstruction services. Our team members are trained cross-functionally to use Xactimate software, the industry’s leading program for calculating the cost of repairs.

Insurance Claims

For many owners, making an insurance claim is one of the frustrating aspects of rebuilding. ATI Restoration simplifies the process so claims are approved quickly and reconstruction can get underway. We expedite the process by working with insurers directly. Our experienced team can provide insurers with all necessary documentation, including damage assessment reports and supporting evidence. 9 out of 10 insurance companies recommend ATI Restoration.

Permits & Approvals

If significant upgrades or structural changes are required, ATI Restoration will obtain the necessary permits and approvals. Our team will prepare the required documentation, submit the reconstruction plan to the relevant authorities, and ensure compliance with local building codes and zoning regulations.

Demolition & Debris Removal

Experience is a must when undertaking demolition. Our commercial demolition experts have the knowledge, training, and equipment to take down a compromised structure—in whole or in part—and prepare for rebuilding. This may involve removing debris, clearing land on the property, and/or excavation.

Reconstruction & Remodeling

With our experienced team at the helm, we execute the physical reconstruction and remodeling work. Our skilled reconstruction contractors carry out tasks such as structural repairs, equipment replacements, and restoration of utilities and infrastructure. We adhere to the agreed-upon timeline and benchmarks, working diligently to minimize downtime for your business.

Quality Assurance & Inspections

You can rely on ATI Restoration to maintain the highest standard of quality throughout the reconstruction process. We conduct inspections at different stages of the project to ensure that industry best practices and safety standards are being followed, building codes are being met, and our work aligns with your goals for reconstruction.

Testing & Commissioning

Prior to completion of the rebuild, our team will perform comprehensive testing and commissioning of equipment, systems, and utilities. Our goal is to verify their functionality and performance, making any necessary adjustments or fine-tuning to ensure they operate optimally.

Final Inspections & Approvals

After ensuring that the reconstructed premises meet all safety requirements and regulations, we will coordinate the final inspections with the relevant authorities. This expedites the approval process, which in turn will pave the way for your business to reopen.
