SERVPRO of Benton, Jasper, Newton & Southern Lake Counties can help you feel in control in times of disaster

When disaster strikes, be it a natural disaster such as a hurricane, tornado, storm, or a fire or water damage to your home or business, you can often feel out of control. With the ever changing COVID-19 pandemic changes, that out of control feeling seems to be affecting most of us.

Today, March 30th, is national I AM IN CONTROL DAY

There are several ways you can prepare so that you don't feel a loss of control, especially in times of storms or disaster. You can only take charge of those things you can control; you have to let everything else go, as hard as that may seem.

• Make lists - prioritize what you can do and how to go about doing it
• Declutter - keep your space and mind clear of distractions
• Plan - having a plan in place helps you organize your thoughts and actions
• Tackle one project at a time - don't try to do everything at once or you will quickly become overwhelmed
• Ask for help - realize that in times of disaster you may need to reach out to others for help
• Talk with someone - a trusted professional, a friend - talking helps
• Feel confident in your decisions - take charge of the things you CAN control, one by one
