ALWAYS CALL 911 if you are in immediate danger and need emergency help.
Does your business or community have a comprehensive action plan for emergency or natural disaster security services? At UPM Security we believe security for your business extends beyond prevention of violence or theft. After a major disaster, looting and disorder are common. Having an emergency response security team in place can help ensure business assets are safe while you and your employees are away.
The key reasons for being prepared with an emergency response security team include:
Sudden natural hazards, such as tornadoes , hurricanes, fires or floods, trigger severe disaster situations with devastating effects. Financial service providers, disaster relief facilities and retail stores are just a few examples that are at risk of crime, violence and property breaches. Individuals and communities as a whole feel the impact of a natural disaster. Several agencies including law enforcement and first responders play major roles in the immediate response of a natural disaster and can be spread thin as resources are dispersed to alleviate immediate danger and provide emergency help. Emergency Response Security can augment local agencies, alleviating some of the pressure on them and directly help local businesses and the community.
Emergency Response Security Efforts
Several counties throughout Florida experienced hurricane disaster’s aftermath which affected numerous homes and businesses. Looters, burglars and other criminals took advantage of a vulnerable communities. Law enforcement was called to address many of the home invasions, but businesses and wealthy estates needed 24-hour security personnel to secure property and assets.
This is where UPM Security can help. We have the experience to respond quickly and communicate effectively with law enforcement, search and rescue, and first responders. In that 2022 disaster, local law enforcement agencies were made aware of our security presence and offered assistance when necessary. Security personnel halted access when search and rescue teams were active. Only authorized personnel were allowed access when local authorities deemed the property safe for employees.
The owners and security personnel of UPM have direct experience providing emergency response security for your local businesses and private estates. Some of the personnel assisted as they are members of Florida’s SERT. The resilience and commitment of our security staff was immeasurable.
