National Preparedness Month & Resources for Businesses and Institutions in Puerto Rico
Zimmetry Environmental provides industrial hygiene, infection control, environmental, health, and safety testing, consulting, and training services to identify and mitigate exposure risks to protect people and to keep entities operational.
Being prepared is crucial for business owners, because according to information posted by Ready.gov several years ago, up to 40% of those affected by a natural or human-caused disaster do not reopen.
Twenty years ago, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) first designated September as National Preparedness Month (NPM). Since then, the annual event has been encouraging people in Puerto Rico and across the United States to take steps to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses, institutions, and communities.
Preparing for an emergency includes being ready for a wide range of possible events. These may include natural hazards such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes, and even volcanic eruptions. This is especially true in places like Puerto Rico and the neighboring islands that have been severely impacted by hurricanes in recent years. They could also include pandemics, human-caused events like accidents and acts of violence, and even technology-related hazards.
“Being prepared is crucial for business owners, because according to information posted by Ready.gov several years ago, up to 40% of those affected by a natural or human-caused disaster do not reopen,” said Harry Pena, President of Zimmetry Environmental. “A key component of being prepared is having a plan in place that identifies which professionals can inspect, test, monitor, train, and develop solutions for a wide range of environmental, health, and safety issues. In Puerto Rico and throughout the Caribbean, Zimmetry Environmental provides these resources. We offer a wide range of indoor and outdoor environmental services following a disaster. These include testing and monitoring for chemical, physical, and biological threats and hazards. Our experts are also available to provide regulatory compliance assessments and management training, personal protective equipment and safety training, and many other services that are key to be able to quickly respond to a wide range of unexpected challenges.”
