MARBLE FALLS —  The U.S. Department of Homeland Security designated September as National Preparedness Month and SERVPRO of Marble Falls, Lampasas and Brownwood took part.

SERVPRO is part of a national franchise providing fire, water, mold and other specialty cleanup and restoration services. SERVPRO responds to property damage emergencies at homes and businesses. 

Disaster-recovery specialist James Becker offers local residents tips and advice on preparing for emergency situations

“As disaster recovery specialists, it’s our job to meet the needs of insurers and property owners in the event of a crisis; however, we want to encourage our customers and community members to take steps to prepare themselves now, instead of waiting until a disaster strikes,” Becker said. “By being part of the National Preparedness Month initiative, we’re able  to help communities minimize the impact an emergency can have on their lives.”
