The effects of an earthquake on business operations are huge. Earthquakes can knock over buildings, destroy valuable contents and make IT systems unusable. The shaking and shifting of the earth can also cause structural damage and rupture gas, water, and sewage lines in your facility. Businesses located in coastal areas are also susceptible to undersea earthquakes that could generate powerful tsunamis. These walls of water move rapidly and have the power to easily overwhelm protective barriers. The force, abruptness and magnitude of the flooding caused by tsunamis can cause catastrophic damage to your business and your future. Count on ServiceMaster Restore for steadfast expertise and ongoing guidance in these times of need.
