Document Recovery Solutions, "Are you prepared for the next disaster?"

Vital Records and Information

This topic was presented by FirstOnSite at the Spring DRIE SWO in Kitchener. As your session coordinator I thought it would be a very good discussion topic as it rarely occurs to me to consider the paper aspects of our business in the event of a disaster.

Our session lead is Jerry Kofsky,

National Business Development Manager, Commercial Drying & Document Recovery Services for FirstOnSite Restoration L.P.

Topics to be covered include but are not limited to the following:

Time is NOT on your side, why?

·        Risks when handling water damaged materials after the loss; options and why?

·        Destruction or recovery?

·        Insurance; correct coverage or enough?

·        Privacy and non-disclosure?

Mould on vital records and information, options?

·        Expectations after the loss/recovery efforts.

·        What to do and not to do?

·        Choices available to the insured/Client when faced with contaminated and/or mouldy materials.
