allRisk Asks People to Prep for Emergencies

In support of the fifth annual National Preparedness Month, allRisk Property Damage Experts is doing its part to encourage Americans to prepare for emergencies before they happen by offering recommendations for personal and business Disaster Supply Kits.

In addition, throughout September, allRisk co-owner Dean Ragone will share his expert advice, based on nearly 20 years of experience in damage recovery and restorations, in a blog created especially for National Preparedness Month.

The blog, titled DR² (Dean Ragone on Disaster Recovery) will appear twice a week. Topics will include, “First Responder,” “Understanding Your Insurance,” and “Preparedness for Business.”

Ragone’s blog and the Disaster Supply Kit can be accessed online at disasterrecoverymonth.com. The first blog will post on Sept. 11, the seventh anniversary of the terrorist attack on New York City’s World Trade Center.

Disaster Supply Kit recommendations include food, clothing, personal care, information regarding pets, personal financial and health records, and much more.

“In the midst of the hurricane season, what better time of year to remind ourselves that everyone can and should take steps to be prepared in the event of a disaster,” says Ragone. “Doing so greatly improves one’s ability to not only survive, but also recover from emergencies, both natural and man-made.

“Severe weather, such as a hurricane, is just one source of possible disaster. People can cause disasters, too. A fire might threaten an entire community or chemicals might spill from a truck. The question remains, are you ready?” says Ragone.

Ragone and co-owner Frank Messina established allRisk in 1994. A 24/7 operation, allRisk provides customers with home telephone numbers of it owners.

“We don’t pay lip service to the 24/7 concept,” says Messina. “We are always available to our customers, and we prove it day in and day out.”
