Your pet is a part of your family so why wouldn’t you take extra precautions if there is an emergency to ensure the safety of your pet?! Regardless of an emergency or not, every pet owner should have an animal first aid kit, which is available at any pet store. You should also invest in some sort of storage for your pet; whether a bag or some sort of crate, anything to contain the animal. In case of emergency this should be labeled with the animals name, your contact information, and a picture of yourself with your little friend. In this case, keep an extra harness and leash also labeled with contact information and extra tags for your dog. Waterproofed copies of your pets medical records and any medication they may be on should also be kelp in this case.
In an emergency dog bag keep a week’s worth of dry food and water (bottled) for your pet. Collapsible dog dishes are a smart buy and you could even use these in none emergency situations like a long walk in the park! Keep your pets feeling safe by bringing some of their favorite toys and a blanket for them to snuggle. To maintain cleanliness, garbage bags, soap, hand sanitizer, and paper towels are all encouraged as you never know what mess your animal might get into. Keep your pets prepared for emergency situations and call All Boro Cleaning for any home repairs required.

As a homeowner you probably encounter run of the mill repairs as time goes on. What happens when something out of the ordinary occurs? In an event of an emergency the following is a guide line a homeowner can use to help in an emergency situation.
Prevention and Protection
- Like going to the doctor’s office a homeowner should do regular check- ups on his/her(s) house. Check the roofing, the plumbing, the basement, washer hoses, hot water heater and the property itself-look for trees that may look like they are coming down. (Companies such as ALL BORO Remodeling offer free estimates.)
- A homer should do what’s called a policy review of their homeowner’s insurance policy. Once a year is usually good enough. Companies such as Sterling & Sterling in Woodbury, NY offer such services to make sure a home owner has adequate coverage.
Fire
Fire is a disaster that can essentially wipe out your entire home.
- Make sure to have an emergency evacuation route planned for you and your family members. Be sure to have a meet up location picked out so that you can all meet up in case of separation
- Call emergency services- firemen or police
- After the fire has been extinguished call a remediation company such as ALL BORO. (Most reputable companies have a 24hr Live Operator emergency services phone number)
- Do not wait to see if your policy covers the work. Sometimes waiting can nullify the policy stipulations due to neglect.

For flood emergencies it is very important to prepare in advance and be knowledgeable in the dos and don’ts. Keep your insurance policy at hand and wrapped. Because when the flood comes, you’ll want the paperwork in order. Once you hear flood warnings turn off all electricity around your home; this will help prevent electrical issues later. While the flood is in progress do not walk or drive through any water. The depth of the water or any debris that may be lurking is unknown and could be potentially harmful. Obviously stay away from any power lines and beware of and gas or carbon monoxide leaks. After the water has cleared watch your step when walking; broken glass and hurt animals are hazardous and anything touched by the water has most likely been contaminated. Clean anything that the water may have touched, as floods carry toxic chemicals. When it comes to floods, you can never be too safe! – http://AllBoroCleaning.com 1-800-426-0899
The key to fire safety is to already have a plan in action. Prepare and practice an emergency escape plan so in case of the event of an actual emergency you are familiar with the drill. Install and maintain smoke detectors in your home or office; you can use these to simulate a practice drill.
Monitoring the safety around your home and promoting fire safety rules to children is very important. Instill ideas like “matches are for grown ups” and “Stop – Drop – Roll” to educate children in fire safety. Around your home, give all space heaters extra space and practice candle safety. Make sure these objects are secure and that the source of heat is away from anything that could catch on fire. Be aware of all electrical products in the home and unplug unused objects to prevent fires.
In the event a fire does occur first, call 911 then remember that hot air rises and crawl low to the ground under the smoke. If you are burned ease pain and cool the burn by running it under water. Try to remain calm under pressure, practice your emergency fire safety action plan. – http://AllBoroCleaning.com 1-800-426-0899
