Utilizing Ready Action Plan for Disaster Preparedness

Jordy Crawford • October 6, 2021

It’s no secret that disaster can strike at any time. Oftentimes, many businesses fail to recover. Preparedness and rapid response are key to any businesses’ recovery. Guarantee Restoration Services is here to help. GRS is committed to restoring your businesses back to pre-loss condition as soon as possible, which is why we utilize a Disaster Preparedness application called Ready Action Plan, or RAP™. This service is through our partners at Restoration Affiliates. 


Defining Ready Action Plan Capabilities  

So now you’re probably wondering, what is Ready Action Plan? Does it even benefit you? The answer is yes! Without question, RAP™ is a powerful emergency preparedness and facility management tool. It is a web-based application, which is accessible from any web-enabled device. It allows you to store and retrieve key documents, floor plans, building systems, contracts, warranties, and more. Security protocols are built in that allows you to restrict access based on security levels, ensuring private documents remain confidential.  


The Ready Action Plan emergency notification system enables team members, maintenance professionals and property managers to send either a text or an email in an instant. This results in a more successful and rapid recovery following property loss.

Meet The Team | Savannah Dear

By Christina Mullins • November 12, 2025
For five and a half years, I’ve had the privilege of writing our Meet the Team blog series. About two years into my role, our department grew with the addition of a third team member. This November, I’m excited to introduce you to someone who has already made a positive impact on our team — our GRS Marketing Assistant, Savannah Dear . As we approach Thanksgiving in just two short weeks, it’s hard to believe the holiday season is nearly here. No matter how busy this time of year becomes, one thing remains constant: when it comes to property damage emergencies, our team is always here for you . Meet the Team | Savannah Dear Savannah was born in Monroe, Louisiana, and raised in Clinton, Mississippi. After graduating from Clinton High School in 2018, she attended the University of Mississippi, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Integrated Communication in 2023. In January 2024, she moved to Baton Rouge and began a career in Sales and Marketing with Orange Theory Fitness. We were thrilled to welcome her to the GRS team on August 26, 2024 . Life Outside of Work When Savannah isn’t assisting with social media content, organizing inventory, or supporting our sales team, she loves getting to know Baton Rouge. Her favorite pastimes include exploring the city, trying new restaurants with her boyfriend Jeremiah, spending time with friends, attending concerts, and playing with her dog, Honey. Singing is one of her favorite ways to unwind, and she will never turn down a karaoke night! She’s also an avid traveler, reality TV enthusiast, and sports fan. Her favorite teams include the New Orleans Pelicans, Pittsburgh Pirates, Washington Commanders, and her beloved — and slightly apologetic — Ole Miss Rebels.
