The Superior Small Lodging Assn Teams with the Red Cross and Mr. Restoration to Prepare for Hurricane Season
Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) June 30, 2015 -- Planning and preparedness are absolutely essential precursors for effective response to disasters and emergency situations. In conjunction with “Disaster Awareness Month”, the Superior Small Lodging Association (SSL) has joined with the American Red Cross (ARC) and Mr. Restoration, a Florida disaster recovery company, to provide association members with the knowledge needed to help them prepare, protect and preserve people and property, for the coming hurricane season.
“Failing to plan is planning to fail”, and no one can afford to fail, when the safety of people and property are at stake” said Stephen Rowe, president of Mr. Restoration. Superior Small Lodging members are therefore encouraged to have an individual emergency disaster plan that addresses the steps necessary to protect property, guests and self. They received step by step instructions from both the Red Cross and Mr. Restoration that included preparation for before, during and after the storm and knowledge of evacuation zones, shelters and most importantly, what steps to take to get guests to safety.
The SSL partnership with the ARC adds participating member properties to the ARC Housing Assistance Program. During an emergency if temporary housing is needed the American Red Cross can be confident that they are placing families who are in need in safe, clean and comfortable accommodations.
