7 Ways to Keep the Animals in Your Pet-Friendly Office Safe During a Power Outage or Disaster

Whether you’re facing winter or summer storms, take these precautions to prepare your business for a disaster or power outage – especially if you have a pet-friendly office. There are certain measures business owners need to take if you allow animals in the office. If you can, have an info sheet for all your employees that explains the pet policy and the best way to ensure pet safety.

1. Pets in the Office Should Have ID Tags
Let your employees know that they should have their pet identified either with a microchip or collar ID tag. That is the best way to prepare for an emergency or power outage. They should also keep their contact info up-to-date.

2. Rescue Alert Sticker
By getting this sticker you will let people know that there is a pet in your business. Place in a visible spot so that first responders will recognize the sticker easily.

3. Prepare an Animal Emergency Kit
Keep an animal emergency kit in your office. The kit should contain:

First aid supplies
3-7 days water and pet food supply
Safety harnesses and leashes
Clean up supplies
Comfort toys and a blanket

4. Get a Portable Generator for Emergency Power

If there’s a power outage or a natural disaster, having emergency power will be very helpful. Get a portable generator so your business doesn’t lose productivity and the animals are kept safe.

5. Find an Emergency Place for the Pets to Stay

If you need to leave your immediate area, it’s pertinent that your employees know a good place to keep their pets until they can return for them. List hotels and motels with pet friendly policies on your info sheet. Also, put the local emergency office phone number on the sheet so your employees can see if there are places that will accept animals.

6. Employees Should Carry a Photo of Their Pet

Have employees carry their pet’s photo in case of a separation, as it will aid them in finding their pet.

7. Employees Should Bring in a Good Crate

Having a good crate or pet carrier will be vital to transporting pets in case of an emergency. Employees should always have one with them if their pet is in the office.

Enhancing Security at Storage Facilities with Power Plus DVS

When people store trucks, trailers, boats, and RVs at storage facilities, they’re not just stashing extra vehicles and old equipment. They’re entrusting these businesses with some of their most valuable possessions — and often their livelihoods.

Storing high-value inventory like heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and construction equipment, truck yards and equipment rental yards are prime targets for cargo theft and other security threats.

It’s no secret Power Plus DVS started out in construction site security. It’s where we learned to always walk a property before designing its video surveillance system.

Back in the day, security guard companies like yours were the logical first defense against crime, vandalism, and trespassing. But in our ever-changing world – with evolving technology, higher value targets, and more shrewd criminals – yesterday’s stalwart guard services are facing unprecedented, new challenges.

As fast as today’s business world is evolving, the need for cost-effective security solutions is even more crucial than ever.

With our decades of experience working on job sites, no one has to tell Power Plus Designed Video Surveillance how monumental a job it is for you to manage your construction site.

With criminals targeting construction sites more and more, every construction project faces the same rising concern of theft. Not to mention vandalism, trespassing, and liability protection. But that’s where the similarity between your job site and any other ends.
