1-800-BOARDUP provides 24/7 emergency services to secure properties, assist victims, and protect people in the aftermath of disasters. Victim assistance is a primary focus of 1-800-BOARDUP’s mission. With a team comprised largely of retired and off-duty firefighters, 1-800-BOARDUP’s expertise and dedication to service play an integral role in the day-to-day work of guiding victims through the initial stages of recovery after their lives are upended by fires and other property damage disasters.
By working closely with first responder organizations and stepping in after the immediate danger of fire or other peril is over, 1-800 BOARDUP also handles the structural stabilization, board-up, roof cover, temporary fencing, and other measures needed to prevent further damage to impacted buildings and minimize on-site hazards and liabilities.
