September is National Preparedness Month!

We here at SERVPRO of Kirksville know that fall storms can be unpredictable and devastating, so being as prepared as possible is key. We have posted some tips to make sure you're ready for storm related emergencies.

Make a Plan. Make sure your family has a set plan on what to do in different storm situations. It is also good to have plans in place in your business to ensure the safety of your employees.

Build a Kit. Storms are unpredictable , and you never know if you might get trapped. Be sure to have bottled water, non-perishable food items, blankets, medication, flares, flashlights and anything you may need if stuck for several days.

Prepare for Disasters. Knowing the condition of your home or business, the severity and timing of past storms, and having a plan will help you to be prepared for a storm disaster. You want to know any risks your property has in advance.

Teach Youth About Preparedness. Make sure your kids know what to do in the event of a storm. You may be separated from them, so they need to have an idea of where to go and what to do to be safe. There are a lot of resources available to help you have these conversations.

Musty smell after a storm?

9/25/2023 (Permalink)

For a general understanding of what is considered "mold" and what to be concerned about, read this article taken from the National Institute of Health Sciences. For More information, go to https://www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topics/agents/mold/index.cfm

Molds are microscopic organisms that play an important role in the breakdown of plant and animal matter. Outdoors, molds can be found in shady, damp areas, or places where leaves or other vegetation is decomposing. Indoor molds can grow on virtually any surface, as long as moisture, oxygen, and organic material are present. When molds are disturbed, they release tiny cells called spores into the surrounding air.

How do people get exposed to mold?

People are exposed to molds every day and everywhere, at home, at work, at school, both indoors and out. Molds are generally not harmful to healthy humans.

Inhalation is considered the primary way that people are exposed to mold. Mold spores and fragments can become airborne and get into the air we breathe. People may also be exposed to mold through the skin. Workers should be properly protected with safety equipment when remediating, or cleaning up mold after a disaster. In some cases, people may be exposed to mold through their diet.

What are the most common forms of mold?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the most common indoor molds are:

What can I do to get rid of mold in my home?

According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), residents can do any of the following to prevent, and or get rid of, mold in their homes:

  • Keep your house clean and dry.
  • Fix water problems, such as roof leaks, wet basements, and leaking pipes or faucets.
  • Make sure your home is well ventilated, and always use ventilation fans in bathrooms and kitchens.
  • If possible, keep humidity in your house below 50 percent, by using an air conditioner or dehumidifier.
  • Avoid using carpeting in areas of the home that may become wet, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
  • Dry floor mats regularly.
