Despite all reasonable precautions, losses of varying magnitude may still occur. Sensible forward planning can, however, minimise such losses and some thought should be given to loss reduction measures. These could include: Preparation of a list of local tradesmen, plumber, roofing contractor, general builder who can be called upon to assist at short notice.
Provision of or note of where tarpaulins can be located to cover holes in the roof or to protect contents removed outside the church.
Produce a notice for hanging on the vestry wall to show the position of the water mains stop tap, electrical switches etc.
Locate and ensure that water supplies for fire extinguishments are accessible, including the nearest fire hydrant.
Adequately record details of the church valuables, portable furniture and stained glass. Ultra-Violet marking, engraving etc plus a good description may help the Police recover stolen property.
Make sure there is a notice in the porch indicating where keys to the church can be found.
