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.

Staying ready and resilient is part of who we are. Meet the Team | Edgar Lopez Each month, we highlight a standout team member from one of our six branch locations—and for June, we’re excited to feature Edgar Lopez , one of our dedicated Project Managers at the Baton Rouge branch. Born in Acapulco, Mexico, Edgar moved to the United States when he was 12 years old. After completing high school, he pursued a degree in Construction Management at Baton Rouge Community College. Before joining GRS in October 2019, Edgar built an impressive résumé with nearly nine years of experience across industrial, commercial, and residential construction. Family, Faith & Hobbies Outside of work, Edgar is a devoted husband to his wife of 13 years, Beatriz. Together, they are raising three wonderful children: Destiny (11), Said (8), and Elyon (7 months). When he’s not managing projects, Edgar enjoys spending quality time with his family, staying active in his church, playing soccer, and going fishing. A passionate soccer enthusiast, he’s a proud supporter of FC Barcelona.
