Strategic Response Partners Disaster Management Team states that complete loss can be avoided, structures can be hardened, and inhabitants safeguarded all the way through impending storms.

Miami, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/25/2020 -- As the world continues to adapt to the ever-changing climate amidst COVID-19, one thing remains constant – large-scale storms do not give second chances. This sobering reality is central to Strategic Response Partners (SRP) latest announcement. As an industry-leader with decades of experience in disaster prevention, response and recovery, SRP continues to strongly urge professionals who maintain and manage hospitals, businesses, commercial properties, municipalities, multi-family buildings, and assisted care facilities, alike, to each have a detailed and customized hurricane disaster plan in place well before disaster ever strikes. More than just a "good idea," SRP says everything from fatalities, looting, explosions, fires, catastrophic electrical issues, structural damage, and toxic environmental conditions can generally be avoided with the right team and a well-vetted disaster plan. To consistently support its clientele in industry-leading disaster mitigation plans and techniques, SRP employs the largest network of skilled vendors available in the United States. With decades and decades of experience and expertise, they have the intrinsic ability to set their clients up for success should a large-scale storm or disaster ever occur. When SRP is retained, their entire team works to create and implement a comprehensive plan detailing all necessary actions before, during, and after a hurricane. Rest assured, when teamed up with SRP, all bases will be covered.

Before a hurricane ever makes landfall, SRP's team of experts and structural engineers personally inspect each of their clients' buildings. With an eye toward even the most minute details, SRP's experts create a site-specific Property Condition Report and, to use a professional term, "fortify the facilities" so as to help each client reduce their disaster risk. This procedure is threefold in its efforts. First, it helps to limit the overall extent of potential damage. Second, such report manages expectations and helps to create a plan for employing the best critical response team to assist each client to best withstand a storm at ground zero. Lastly, when that storm does occur, from the center of a disaster, SRP will have the ability to address issues in real-time as they arise with its team already in place, per plan, with their "boots on the ground."

Once a storm approaches and before it makes landfall, a highly-trained critical-response team deploys and remains in place to help support needs and help facilitate a pre-arranged specific disaster prevention plan. In conjunction with such resources, SRP also has the unique ability to deploy paramedics, who remain near or within facilities to help ride out the hurricane and thereafter assist those who do not or could not evacuate. For example, it is a common practice for building engineers and logistics-related employees to remain behind during a storm. Additionally, hotel guests, hospital patients, or residents of assisted living facilities often have no choice but to stay put during severe inclement weather. Knowing that their condition may be critical, as they may be on a ventilator or oxygen machine, or have other conditions that would require emergency medical attention, SRP has private paramedics and nurse practitioners ready and available, all which can be provided to support needs on short notice. These healthcare professionals are available to stay on-site to help maintain the health and safety of personnel. They can also assist when frightened residents or guests become overwrought with fear or panic during a large-scale storm and attempt to do the unimaginable like flee from safe premises and subject themselves to flying debris. For SRP, the life and safety of all concerned is and will always remain paramount.

Also, of utmost importance when a storm occurs is the issue of ongoing and adequate security. When storm evacuation orders are issued, security professionals typically abandon their post and leave the buildings they are otherwise employed to protect, thereby providing ill-intentioned opportunists the ability to vandalize and steal. Recognizing this ongoing issue, in an effort to help its clients mitigate and minimize any such losses, SRP has highly-trained armed and unarmed security professionals at its disposal. They are also trained in, and specialize in, issues related to extreme weather conditions. SRP's security teams, technical rescue experts and medical teams are well-trained to support each other's efforts should disaster ever strike.

Managing Partner of Strategic Response Partners, Steve Slepcevic, states, "The fact is, we see many buildings get looted because law enforcement and EMS services are not in the location at the time of an incident. Or, in some cases, they are overwhelmed thereby reducing their response time in a wide area disaster. If the electrical power goes out due to storm-related issues, many commercial buildings have safety features that unlock the building in the event of such a power outage. Without the proper pre-storm planning in place, this ancillary harm generally causes confusion and chaos. All too often the building owner will then have to deal with theft and vandalism on top of the storm damage. Unfortunately, this may create a second insurance deductible known as a separate occurrence. Any theft, vandalism, and/or looting is generally seen as an occurrence that's separate and distinct from the storm damage and over and above the obvious."

When a building must stay open, SRP has the unique ability to also deploy structural engineers and environmental consultants who will remain in place to immediately assess a building's post-storm conditions. These individuals are on-site to immediately assess and help handle instabilities and structural issues arising from wind damage or water that intrudes the building. They are also there to handle any significant ongoing hazards such as shorts within the electrical system which are likely to cause a potential electrocution or fire hazards. In such instances, temporary power becomes an issue as building basement generators often flood, and backup generators fail. Again, all of this is just cause to engage in pre-storm planning with an industry leader such as SRP. These failures can lead to even more significant risks as the building starts to "sweat" due to compromised climate control. Quickly thereafter, mold and toxicity issues arise, creating a sick structure as water stagnates and causes a highly toxic environment. In some cases, deadly legionnaires disease has been found in the water systems. SRP's structural engineers and environmental consultants are trained to help construct a clear protocol for remediation teams to follow so further disaster is mitigated.

Should any assistance creating a unique and customized pre-disaster plan be needed, its time to trust the industry-leading professionals that have and continue to serve thousands of other asset owners, not only nationwide, but globally.

Miami, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/19/2019 -- Too often, business owners think they have all the information they need to get their insurance claim paid quickly following a storm. They should think again. Disaster management company, Strategic Response Partners (SRP) says they have seen insurance companies quickly deny otherwise credible claims after a significant storm based solely on incomplete or insufficient documentation. The industry-leading disaster response company urges business owners not to become a statistic. With the right preparations in place, SRP clients can rest assured that they've done everything right to financially survive the storm, even if their property doesn't.

SRP prides themselves on being the nation's leading disaster management firm. With a dedicated division of highly-skilled FAA licensed extreme drone pilots, they use state-of-the-art technology along with custom-built extreme-weather drones made in the USA. These outstanding methods monitor and document each property asset, whether before, during, or after any severe weather event. Their pilots have their FAA Part 107 license along with the ability to gain Certificate of Authorization (COA) when a disaster happens in areas affected by Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR). By using their unique drones to obtain essential forensic and videography assessments, aerial measurements, and Property Condition Reports, delivered to asset owners and contractors, SRP can help assist with the disaster recovery claims process. When disaster strikes, SRP's methods can provide a cost-effective way to minimize the business interruption and maximize your recovery.

Dedicated to always being able to keep its clients "in the know" as to when and where the next large-scale storm may strike, SRP also works with leading Meteorologist. By engaging industry leaders, SRP can send predictive severe-weather alerts directly to clients, whether it be critical care facilities, ports, logistic centers. asset owners, multifamily associations, brokers and risk managers. Furthering the belief that there is no such thing as being over-prepared when alerted of an impending storm, SRP's drone pilots can immediately launch and obtain pre and post-loss 3D imagery. This is to document the current property condition before, during, and after a storm has passed. These details allow the property owner to evidence the actual condition of a property through all stages of an event. Thus, SRP's experience and technology can significantly assist in limiting arguments against insurance claims, which are often made upon inaccurate data after a major storm or wildfire.

SRP's unique property assessments can potentially be the 'make or break' data their clients need to support their insurance claim after a storm has impacted their business and/or property. As soon as SRP receives the address, they immediately spring into action and begin pre-planning the mission. They establish a flight plan, check surrounding airspace permissions, as well as weather conditions, all to help ensure that they can complete the property assessment within a short couple of hours of their receipt of the assignment. The resulting property report can include everything from damage assessments, roof measurements, photos, videos, and estimated loss, as needed, in an effort to fulfill insurance companies' requirements.

"This quick response helps property owners, insurance companies, and contractors alike follow up with an immediate assessment and estimate from recent storm damage," Tammy Mendez, Managing Director at SRP shares. "Our speed, accuracy and turnaround time in assessing the storm damage, along with limiting the liability of climbing on roofs to gather data, is unmatched in the disaster response and recovery industry."

This type of quick response, detailed data, photographic evidence, and resulting comprehensive report is perfect for asset owners and storm contractors that necessitate accurate and timely results on properties needing that additional proof to supplement their insurance claim. Whether clearly defining the wind created openings working alongside forensic engineers, providing thermal imaging, or showing moisture mapping, SRP can do and provide the assistance as needed.

Those that are in the know have come to depend upon SRP's significant experience coupled with innovative and cutting-edge technologies to deliver consistent and dependable results. The New Hanover Hospital Group in Wilmington, North Carolina is one such client. When Hurricane Florence made landfall, it was SRP's drones that were instrumental in capturing all of the pre and post forensic damage imagery and video documentation which proved key throughout their insurance recovery process.

Call for a pre-storm assessment and disaster audit plan today. When the time comes, focus on repairing and recovering the business, not getting engrossed in an unnecessary dispute with insurance adjusters, or worse, a long-drawn-out legal battle. Without proper pre-disaster planning and documentation of a property, proving an insurance claim at a forensic level becomes tedious and difficult. Instead, let the experts at Strategic Response Partners be the go-to Disaster Management company in planning, responding to and assisting you in recovering from disasters.

While employees are planning their final summer vacations and getting their kids ready for school, Strategic Response Partners (SRP) asks business owners, “Are you planning to prevent a total shutdown of your business due to the next incoming hurricane?”

Orlando, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/19/2019 -- FEMA statistics state that approximately 40% of all businesses never recover from a natural disaster. With that in mind, Strategic Response Partners (SRP) asks business owners to prepare themselves so that their businesses safely sidestep that statistic. Increasing safety and peace of mind, the company assures that there are certain steps a business should take to ensure they are adequately prepared.

Natural disasters are on the rise. As evidenced over recent years, empirical data shows us that disaster can strike anywhere and in a multitude of forms. Not believing that a hurricane, fire, flood, tornado, explosion, active shooter, or any other type of loss can hit close to home, or assuming that one's insurance policy covers everything because their insurance agent said so, are some of the most common mistakes that any business owner can make. Realizing these facts means that it's in a business owner's best interest to start planning now, well before they learn that the next impending disaster is imminently heading their way and insurance policy changes are not allowed.

While most companies purchase insurance and many might even have some form of a disaster plan, very few if any of those same businesses have ever tested them. Possibly equally as frightening, they have also not considered the full scope of potential loss against their present level of insurance coverage. The time to know how current insurance coverage will respond to a natural disaster is before any disaster happens, not after. SRP urges business owners not to bet on false hope, but rather to engage in all of the affirmative steps to know the business is more than adequately prepared to withstand anything that Mother Nature can send its way.

Three of the most common mistakes business owners make before hurricane season are:

1. Thinking a complete loss could never happen to them

2. Not having a comprehensive and "battle-tested" disaster plan

3. Having insufficient insurance coverage to fully restore a business to its pre-loss condition

Those in the know have turned to the SRP to ensure that should Mother Nature ever come calling, a well-thought-out, tested, and customized disaster emergency plan has been developed and put in place on their behalf. Strategic Response Partners provides solutions that have been proven time and time again to help business owners assess all risks, properly plan for any potential disasters, and effectively respond to any such disaster. This helps clients make a quick recovery, ultimately giving them and their business the absolute best chance for survival.

Mistake Number Two

The next biggest mistake business owners make is not having a comprehensive, tested Disaster Response and Recovery Plan in place prior to a disaster ever occurring. SRP Disaster Management Services prepares their clients for a disaster by developing a comprehensive disaster plan specifically for their business which takes into account various factors, including a businesses' reliant employees and suppliers. SRP also has a significant number of assets at its disposal throughout the United States to help align clients with the appropriate resources and vendors ready to respond before, during and after any disaster. Each resource is ready to help SRP clients implement their Emergency Plan and set them on the straight-forward path to recovery.

SRP's tailored Disaster Plans typically include:

1. Designation of Internal Disaster Team - who will be responsible for what task

2. What employees will be affected by the same event and relocated due to housing

3. What mass notification systems are being relied upon when weather alerts are issued

4. Who, what and when will the facility pre-storm preparations begin

5. What the insurance company covers, excludes, and/or limits that can hurt you

6. How to properly prescreen and track billing from emergency response vendors

7. What to do at each stage before the storm makes landfall to minimize the damage

8. What to do immediately following a disaster and what emergency services will be available

9. Allocations and plans for temporary operations, power, drying, security, etc.

10. Documentation of aerial pre-storm damage and scope of repairs needed for recovery

There are many more considerations integrated into SRP's custom Disaster Plans that are specific to each business due to their property location. SRP Disaster Management Services will work closely with business owners to identify all risk and assist in creating a customized recovery plan.

Mistake Number Three

?The third biggest mistake most business owners make, which unfortunately is generally not learned until after a disaster occurs, is that their applicable insurance policy does not provide the coverage that the business originally thought they had. Adequate insurance is of vital importance for every business prior to any disaster which may occur. Therefore, SRP will work with each client and their insurance agent to identify potential risks, anticipated expenses to respond to a disaster, potential costs to repair and replace damage, as well as any other financial obligations which may arise after a disaster. This helps an insurance team determine whether a business is sufficiently insured. Additionally, many policies also have exclusions or limitations that can be changed or raised for nominal amounts before storm warnings are issued. However, most clients are initially unaware of the ability to increase these factors. Insuring against risk is smart, preventing loss from ever occurring is just good business.

SRP's Extensive Services

SRP uses NEXRAD certified meteorologists to analyze and track severe weather 24/7 using state of the art military-grade technology. This real-time satellite technology is traditionally designed for and used by the military to ensure pinpoint accuracy in ground combat scenarios, air campaigns, and NASA launches. The service delivers personal alerts identifying site-specific risks with 95% accuracy. The system also identifies and notifies business owners of the smaller events not widely publicized on the news.

SRP can connect clients with prescreened and credentialed Emergency Service Vendors so clients can pre-interview, qualify and select Vendors that they can rely on if and when a loss occurs. SRP-approved vendors pre-stage emergency equipment, fuel, power generation, materials and manpower in and surrounding a potential Disaster Zone for Rapid Response. This helps ensure that your recovery begins immediately when an event occurs and operates as smooth as possible giving you the best chance of a success.

?In the event of a potential disaster, SRP deploys its convoy of Disaster Response Coordinators along with a team of First Responders including Firefighters and Paramedics trained in urban search and rescue, structural engineers, and environmental consultants to be "Boots on the ground before the storm makes landfall," in an effort to help clients follow their plan in shoring up there buildings and properly activating the plan. SRP helps document pre-disaster conditions using custom severe-weather drones to provide 3D mapping surveys as part of their comprehensive property condition reports for a clear picture of before and after the storm performed by their drone division known as SkyForceX. Clients will have the ability to show their insurance company their preparation efforts, exact conditions before the event, and the resulting damages immediately following the event, thereby assisting all in negotiating a fair and accurate settlement.

Having lived, worked, and survived through multiple catastrophic storms since 1989, and having witnessed businesses disaster plans fail post-storm for some of the aforementioned reasons gives SRP the unique experience, insight, and expertise to help clients Prepare, Respond and Recover.

Los Angeles, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/16/2019 -- On a mission to save lives, Strategic Response Partners (SRP) announces the launch of their new specialized division aptly named SkyForceX. In their use of cutting-edge drone technology to completely revolutionize the way storm patterns and incoming severe weather are predicted, SRP is on a mission to save lives. Now SRP will use their expertise on a whole new level to help their clients prevent business interruption due to impending storm damage. Their new custom unmanned aircraft systems will employ innovative meteorological technology to help provide site-specific early warning severe weather predictions.

The new SkyForceX crew is an Extreme Drone Team made of the world's top 1% of drone pilots. With backgrounds in FPV Drone Racing, these pilots consistently train in extreme weather elements to test their drones and hone their piloting skills and mental acuity in extreme conditions. The team always strives to stay one step ahead of the storm, flying high above weather systems - all which provides them with accurate estimations of tornadic formations. Along with their FAA part 107 certification, these pilots work tirelessly to acquire Certificate of Authorizations (COA) to fly when a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is governmentally enacted after catastrophic damage from a storm. Designed to be amongst the tornadoes, these high-speed waterproof impact-resistant drone systems can help scientists, meteorologists and first responders carry out essential lifesaving services and research to better predict future events. This enables the further understanding of storm dynamics, all resulting in better and more accurate weather predictions.

Current warning systems can only predict severe storms and tornados approximately fourteen minutes in advance, leaving Americans and their businesses extremely vulnerable. The new technologies deployed by SRP have become an integral part of SRP's Critical Response Team, known as StormForceX, comprised of Structural Engineers, Firefighters, Paramedics, and Search Dogs - all seasoned experts in disaster response and recovery. SRP can track these storms to provide warnings to their clients up to one hour in advance. That affords them sufficient time to carry out safety procedures, clear people from the path of these destructive tornadoes, and work to get everyone to safety. Capping off broken gas lines, terminating any exposed power lines, providing temporary shoring to prevent structural collapse and securing the building to prevent further loss.

At SRP, the SkyForceX Extreme Drone Team is integrated with the company's Critical Response Team StormForceX during and after extreme weather events. The predictions that come from their drones and the FPV Racer's situational awareness, significantly assist SRP in its positioning of the Critical Response Team in the right place at the right time. Using the drone's GPS positioning, luminous nocturnal lighting, and thermal cameras, SRP has the unique ability to also search for victims and guide their Critical Response Team simultaneously.

For example, a drone was sent to monitor Hurricane Matthew off the coast of Florida in October of 2016 by NASA. By dropping sensors straight into the storm, the drone was able to monitor the temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed, and direction. It could then transmit all relevant information in real-time. The drone used was built for monitoring disasters with special radars that can also examine storm formation, structure, and intensification. 

By collecting this critical data, Strategic Response Partners has the unique ability to save businesses, properties, and lives with more precise forecasts and advanced weather warnings. This is a huge shift in the weather forecasting industry and will forever change the way weather is predicted. Within the next decade, expectations are that drones will likely be the primary tool used for regular forecasting. As a result, drones will become the norm for standard measurement devices.

Viking Unmanned Aerial Systems, Inc., based in Maine, is helping SRP in the identification and integration of advanced drone technology by building custom, heavy-lift Octocopter V-Frame drones named Pulse V8 by the SRP's Critical Response Team. The Pulse V8 is a multirotor aerial platform designed for high-performance flight operations in the worst of conditions. Specifically, this system was designed for all-weather high-altitude operations, whereby this drone can accomplish a bevy of tasks, from scanning disaster areas to assisting with the detailed 3D mapping and thermal inspection of structures. SRP has also designed a fixed-wing glider that is equipped with a weather sensor package. It was designed and authorized by the FAA to be launched, attached to a helium balloon, from ground zero up through the eye of a hurricane on its way to the edge of space at well over 100,000 feet into the sky, then released and flown directly back down into the eye of the hurricane with the advance metrological sensors gathering data in real-time. The scientific advancements deployed by SRP are unlike any other disaster response companies. SRP has taken the lead in the development and integration of these weather and data sensors to help elite meteorologist predict areas that will be impacted by tornados and hurricanes. Having partnered with Viking UAS, who designs drones for the US Military and has over 700 airframe designs to their credit, has helped Strategic Response Partners is leading the way on these extreme missions to save lives and restore communities faster than ever before. The team's cutting-edge advancements of integrating flight sensors and drone technology into weather technologies will help revolutionize the response time.

Disaster management firm says companies without pre-established disaster response teams designated to respond in real-time to tornados will suffer additional property damage, reputation loss while potentially being liable for on-site employees, tenants, and customers entering an unsafe structure.

Dallas, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/07/2019 -- Though federal labor laws generally require all employers to have an emergency action plan that organizes activity during workplace emergencies, one disaster management company says too often, most employers don't even have any plan whatsoever, and for the ones that do, at best, their plans are meager, outdated, and/or ineffective. Exemplifying this point, often times large residential buildings have numerous tenants who errantly believe they are safe before and after a storm due to the building owner's perceived aptitude for maintaining adequate safety guidelines. Unfortunately, all too often this is not the case. Culpable large commercial asset owners in Tornado Alley - namely South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Northern Texas, and Eastern Colorado generally have more on their shoulders than managing bottom lines. Due to a large number of natural disasters their building assets incur, such asset managers also have to try to manage blame in an effort to deal with the devastating financial burden natural disasters can cause to these properties.

In addition to the financial consequences a building owner or manager must face after a natural disaster occurs for which they were caught off guard, such parties are also often left to deal with the resulting damage to their reputation when injuries to employees, residents, or customers of their building occur while on-site due to the building's failure to adequately prepare. With an inability to bargain with an average of 1,253 tornadoes that occur annually in the US, large-scale companies with everything to lose should employ professional consultants who can fully assist with planning prior to any major disaster A stand-out in an industry of what is typically composed of oversimplified disaster planners, after over thirty (30) years of experience, Strategic Response Partners (SRP) continues to raise the bar. They have all the technological bells and whistles to mitigate the resulting damage from the worst storm while helping to keep those affected calm. Call it the real-time "boots on the ground" approach to storm negotiation.

Steve Selleck, Managing Partner of SRP states, "Just recently a tornado blew the roof of a shopping center in Mississippi. People were walking around exposed wires and under what remained of the roof which was about to collapse on a large group of people attempting to salvage what they could and empty their store. If only a team had been in place to educate beforehand and coordinate during and after a storm, the potential for havoc would have been significantly minimized. Even though there's little chance you'll be able to eliminate all damage resulting from being hit by a tornado, there certainly are measures you can implement today to minimize damage to your property, reduce disruption to your business, and help save the lives of your employees and patrons."

SRP is a comprehensive disaster management company covering everything a business might need when dealing with a natural disaster. From writing the most compressive disaster management plans in the world, to responding ahead of time to prepare clients the day before and the day of an impending natural disaster, SRP is not only at the forefront of its industry, but is developing and integrating cutting edge technology to ensure it is an invaluable and unique resource for all of its clientele. Responding immediately to save lives and property, SRP keeps their clients' businesses operating and recovering quicker with a new unmatched industry standard.

HAVE AN EMERGENCY PLAN
For each client, SRP first creates and puts a customized technology-based disaster prevention plan into play. This plan generally starts with integrating the use of a highly-sensitive weather radar that can secure all applicable geo points on a predictive early warning severe weather tracking platform. The ability to notify clients that they're in the path of a severe weather outbreak coupled with SRP's ability to respond immediately to their clients' threatened site(s) is essential.

"Our plans work because we cover everything from planning for a storm to responding during it with the best response time possible. We work with major businesses to develop comprehensive preparation plans for all types of emergencies. Then, we can be confident because we've already created comprehensive and customized disaster plans and educated our clients where their potential fail points exist. Monitoring property locations and linking arms with our Critical Response Team to prepare people and secure buildings before any disaster hits are key," Selleck adds.

HAVE AN INTERNAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT TEAM
All to often, during a severe weather event, local fire departments are simply unable to respond to most calls for help, and even if they could, it may be too late. It is critical to the recovery efforts that an internal disaster management team mobilizes in the storm zone ahead of these supercell tornadoes and hurricane zones days before an event actually strikes. Then when appropriate, SRP's highly-trained Critical Response Team can move in-and-around storms while its Disaster Management Team works alongside the internal team to inspect properties for hazards such as structural collapse, electrical, gas leaks, exposure to hazardous materials, and assist in immediate mitigation efforts to limit or avoid the potential for loss of life and further property damage.

After a storm, Strategic Response Partners uses specialty drones equipped with thermal cameras, speakers, and lights to help locate people who have been displaced and/or trapped by the storm, and then provide critical rescue services, as needed. SRP's convoy generally also includes a team of highly-trained firefighters and paramedics as well as life and safety support for some of America's top meteorologists.

SRP First Responders include:

Urban Search and Rescue
Firefighters and Paramedics
Hazmat Environmental Consultants
Structural and Roofing Engineers
Electricians and Disaster Response Coordinator
Tornado Critical Response Chase Team

Taking their reputations into their own hands, building owners all too often look past the need to have pros who know how to secure their buildings and forensically document the damage, generally because they don't recognize the need for such services or they are just trying to save a buck. Details like controlled access and waivers from the tenants and employees who enter the premises can help to contain serious liability.

GET BACK ON TRACK QUICKLY
With recovery plans specifically tailored to their clients' businesses, SRP focuses on facets such as life, safety, and all other liabilities. Leaving nothing to chance, SRP engages its cutting edge drone team to complete a full survey and property conditions report before and after a storm, all in an effort to mitigate any loss, help ensure quick insurance settlements, and to reopen its clients' businesses ASAP. Loss consultants are also available to help clients manage and navigate disaster insurance claims.

With insured damages in state wildfires estimated at $12.4 billion, residents are left with contaminated properties that could cause serious issues if not properly cleaned up and tested for clearance by a third-party CIH Certified Industrial Hygienists.

Malibu, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/03/2019 -- Sure, the wildfires that recently caused California residents billions of dollars in property damage are out. For that, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. However, disaster management company Strategic Response Partners says, the breath shouldn't be too deep. Thousands of families and business owners affected by the fires should be aware that dangerous toxin exposure abounds just by living and working in and around older buildings that recently burned that may have contained aluminum windows, asbestos, lead, and other industrial chemicals that may have blown up into the air and spread to adjoining properties and may now contaminated with a "tiny" hidden carcinogenic intruder. It's called particulate matter and though it's less than 2.5 micrometers in size, the larger concern is what this particulate matter is made up of that can further complicate health issues. Especially toxic for children, the elderly, and those with heart or lung diseases, these airborne toxins comprise a danger zone all their own. So much so, their related deaths are reported to be comparable to those caused by traffic accidents. And, while offending companies keep options open, like filing bankruptcy just so they don't have to pay nearly $11.4 billion in claims, the potential for ongoing health concerns is not something that can be negotiated.

Having a closer look at the 1,893,913 acres and 20,200 structures that burned down in California, Licensed Public Insurance Adjuster, Jeffrey Major from Skyline Adjusters said of the ongoing danger, "Just because you don't smell smoke doesn't mean your home or business isn't contaminated. People may not be aware of the dangerous levels of carcinogens, cyanide, and other harmful toxins in the soot that settles in structures. Schools, daycare centers, churches, shopping centers, and hospitals are all buildings at risk."

Everyone has heard smoke inhalation is deadly but, what about smoke's residue? Smoke is made up of particles, liquids, and gaseous compounds not typically visible to the naked eye.  Wildfires produce tons of this particulate matter every minute they burn, and that seeps into structures even with closed windows and doors as buildings breathe.  These toxic specks settle in landscaping, run through rain gutters, get buried in drapes, carpets, and gather on bookshelves.  Burnt fire embers settle on rooftops that could cause leaks; ash is found in attic spaces, inside siding panels, indoor and outdoor insulation, ventilation systems, heating, electrical and air-conditioning units, electronics, appliances, mattresses, pillows, couches and even clothing.  

"Every time a contaminated television fan, heater, or refrigerator is running, or a bed is slept on, particulate matter is re-entrained into the air we breathe. This potentially deadly airborne substance enters the body and makes its way into the lungs where it can do the worst damage," stated Major.

Health hazards include:

- Aggravated asthma
- Respiratory issues
- Chronic bronchitis
- Decreased lung function
- Lung cancer
- Premature death

Symptoms include:

- Headaches
- Eye irritation
- Nasal passage and sinus irritation
- Throat and bronchi irritation
- Cough
- Increased mucus and nasal congestion

"The first step to remedy this situation is to have property thoroughly tested and a smoke remediation protocol written by the third party Certified Industrial Hygienist before remediation is undertaken. A restoration contractor that is IICRC Certified in Smoke and Ash Remediation should closely follow the protocol outlined by the environmental consultant and set up proper containment in order to correctly remediate the property without further cross contaminating the unaffected areas. Then, once the remediation is completed by the restoration contractor, the Certified Industrial Hygienists should revisit the property and verify that the cleaning protocol was followed and a clearance report issued that no contaminants exist," reported Major.

Highly-recommended in such cases, Strategic Response Partners, Inc. (SRP) provides expert consulting services that include inspecting, testing, cleaning, and restoring fire and smoke damaged structures. Following the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) guidelines for proper cleanup procedures, the company encourages wildfire survivors to hire a Certified Industrial Hygienists to create a baseline or at the very least obtain a clearance certificate to occupy the property.
