Prepare and Recover Your Commercial Property This Winter with BMS Cat

 

Disasters can strike without warning, and preparation is key to minimizing their impact on your commercial property. Abel Mendoza, a project construction manager at BMS CAT, emphasizes the importance of proactive planning and readiness in handling emergencies. “You almost have to train yourself, like doing fire drills back in school,” he explains. Understanding critical systems such as fire sprinklers, water mains, and gas shutoffs can make all the difference when every second counts.

Mendoza highlights how BMS CAT teams approach disaster recovery with a calm, composed demeanor, helping alleviate the panic customers often feel. “The initial panic and shock make it seem like the world is collapsing,” he says. “We don’t need to amplify that. We come in calm, knowing the steps to take.” This reassurance sets the tone for effective recovery.

One of BMS CAT’s defining strengths is their ability to prioritize what matters most to customers, whether it’s in a home or a commercial property. Mendoza shares how crews recognize and address critical items—like cherished heirlooms—without being prompted. “They’ll see grandma’s secretary and address that first, easing the customer’s stress,” he notes.

Through preparedness, professionalism, and care, BMS CAT provides peace of mind when it’s needed most. For more emergency preparedness tips, visit www.FEMA.gov.
