PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Emergency preparedness is not something that can be taken lightly. From random shooters to sudden storms – an emergency can happen any day, any time, in any location. Dean Mitchell Restoration has created a way to help prepare for the moment an emergency may happen on a property with the launch of the faciliSmart app. The company's faciliSmart program is a web-based, emergency preparedness and disaster-planning tool that puts disaster protocol in one safe location. The plan can be accessed any time, anywhere, via a cell phone, tablet, or computer. This new app further enables clients to have instant access to the location of critical building components, to emergency protocol, and even their exit plans – all at their fingertips – even without an Internet connection.

Dean Mitchell Restoration, a leading restoration, remediation, and reconstruction company in South Florida, enacted the faciliSmart software program in 2012 due to the growing need for their clients and the knowledge that many of these situations could have had less damage if the companies had immediate access to their critical components and could share with their team. The program quickly became a vital tool used by property, facility, school, and hospital managers to simplify disaster planning, reduce loss, expedite the claims process, and get clients back on their feet faster.
"Phones are the lifeline for so many today," said Paul Licata of Dean Mitchell Restoration. "We use them as cameras, we use them to take notes, we use them to store important items. And, with so many 'what-ifs' that could happen, why not create something designed for a smartphone that will help to protect? Can you imagine another situation such as Sandy Hook, or a storm as bad as Hurricane Sandy, and critical information is locked in a desk drawer somewhere? This tool empowers your entire staff by giving them access to the location of key building components, disaster and emergency protocol, and other pertinent information at the touch of their fingertips enabling them to handle any crisis with ease, minimize damage, and potentially save lives."
The app is available for download via the app store on any smartphone or tablet and once customized is filled with blueprints, the location of key building components, contact info for key staff and emergency personnel, and all warranty information. The faciliSmart program also serves as a strong organization tool that stores vital facility documentation – such as service records, warranty and insurance information, repair manuals and other crucial emergency information, and can be accessed by anyone on the facilities team anytime, anywhere. Additionally, faciliSmart helps to expedite the claims process giving clients a full report of their property in pre-damage status.
"We are doing what we can to help our communities," said Licata. "If we can play a role in further protecting individuals and buildings, then it is something we want to be a part of."
