Emergency Response
What is emergency response?
An emergency situation can be many things, ranging from natural disasters to problems with hazardous materials and even transport incidents. Emergency response can refer to services provided by emergency and rescue services agencies such as the SES, as well as plans and actions taken within an organisation such as Integrated Property Solutions by one of our ERT’s (Emergency Response Team) to respond to an emergency.
What does an emergency response team do?
An emergency response team (ERT) is a collection of people who are highly trained within OH&S and disaster safety procedures. This training allows them prepare and respond to any emergency incident quickly, efficiently and safely. Natural Disasters or an interruption of business operations are some examples of events that will require an Emergency Response Team.

Flood Information
Due to the destructive nature of floods, specialised care is required during the clean up process.
Below we'll provide you some information the way that floods are dealt with, what you can expect after the initial clean up and some of the health hazards involved in floods.
Floods
Removal methods used when responding to a flood are very dependent on many variables, including the category of water, the building that has been flooded and how long said water has remained stagnant. Quite often it is not the flood itself that is the most destructive, but the damage the stagnant water creates when it isn’t quickly removed. For example, as long as carpet has not been wet for longer than 48 hours, and the water involved was not sewage based, you can usually save the carpet; however, if the water has soaked for longer, then your carpet is probably irreparable and will have to be replaced. Restoration can be performed by Property management teams, building maintenance personnel, or by the Homeowners themselves; however, contacting a certified professional water damage restoration specialist, such as Integrated Property Solutions, is often regarded as the safest way to restore water damaged property due to their training and extensive experience. Most are usually listed under “Fire and Water Restoration” and they can help speed repairs, whether for individual homeowners or for the largest of institutions. Fire and Water Restoration companies are regulated by the appropriate state’s Department of Consumer Affairs – usually the state contractor’s license board.
What Should I expect to happen after the Initial Clean Up?
Different removal methods and measures are used depending on the category of water. Due to the destructive nature of water, restoration methods also rely heavily on the amount of water, and on the amount of time the water has remained stagnant. For example, as long as carpet has not been wet for longer than 48 hours, and the water involved was not sewage based, you can usually save the carpet; however, if the water has soaked for longer, then your carpet is probably irreparable and will have to be replaced. Restoration can be performed by Property management teams, building maintenance personnel, or by the Homeowners themselves; however, contacting a certified professional water damage restoration specialist is often regarded as the safest way to restore water damaged property due to their training and extensive experience. Most are usually listed under “Fire and Water Restoration” and they can help speed repairs, whether for individual homeowners or for the largest of institutions. Fire and Water Restoration companies are regulated by the appropriate state’s Department of Consumer Affairs – usually the state contractor’s license board.
What are potential Health hazards?
Secondary damage is a large concern when discussing flood damage, secondary flood damage is any damage to property caused not by the initial flood, but damage caused thereafter. This damage can take anywhere from months to years to fully comprehend.
Slight discolorations on the walls and ceiling may go unnoticed for a long time as they gradually spread and get more severe. Even if they are noticed, they often are ignored because it is thought that some discoloration will occur as a part of normal wear and tear in a home. Different kinds of Mould can spread throughout the living space leading to serious health consequences. Symptoms caused by mould allergy are watery, itchy eyes, a chronic cough, headaches or migraines, difficulty breathing, rashes, tiredness, sinus problems, nasal blockage and frequent sneezing, mould also has the potential to be fatal if left untreated.
Skilled & Licensed trades people are trained in Flood Remediation and they have the technical know how, and equipment necessary to remove or minimise the risk of any secondary damage.
