Paul Davis Deploys Teams to Assist Victims of Bomb Cyclone

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 14, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- An explosively intensifying winter storm of extreme weather continues to travel across the Plains states and Upper Midwest. The hurricane-force system has combined the worst weather of all four seasons into one — from a string of violent, tornado-like thunderstorms to damaging winds, severe blizzard conditions and even flooding.

Paul Davis, a leading provider of fire, smoke, water, and mold damage clean up and restoration services for residential
and commercial properties, will deploy highly-specialized staff and equipment to communities ravaged by the historic "Bomb Cyclone" that traveled through the central and northern Plains and the Upper Midwest. A bomb cyclone happens when there's a rapid atmospheric pressure drop over 24 hours known as bombogenesis with hurricane force winds and blowing snow. The current storm is the most significant of its kind since similar conditions in Kansas during the 1950s.

According to The Weather Channel, the bomb cyclone began as Winter Storm Ulmer on March 12, and unleashed a 97-mph wind gust equivalent to a Category 2 hurricane in areas including Colorado Springs and across the state to the Great Plains and parts of the Midwest, bringing blizzard conditions and a flood threat to central and southern parts of the United States.

Paul Davis' more than 300 offices are providing emergency recovery and mitigation services along with structural aid, demolition and cleanup to property owners due to storm, wind, snow, ice, water, and mold damage, among others. The Paul Davis teams will join other franchise office technicians from throughout the U.S. and emergency crews plus the company's large loss division while helping residents and local businesses implement disaster recovery and restoration work. As home and business property owners experience the devastation of the tornadoes, Paul Davis professional contractors are providing help with insurance companies, estimates, claims and processing.

The company recommends contacting a licensed professional or restoration and emergency services company if damage to your home or business is significant. Qualified technicians are certified from The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Go to http://www.pauldavis.com and locate local offices by entering a zip code.
