Ask Annissa: What is Jobsite Triage?

By Annissa Coy
October 1, 2020

In this quick video, Annissa is on site with Crown Restoration to answer a great question about contents cleaning on site. Triage is referring to "stopping the bleed" on a jobsite; doing the critical work to make sure the rest of the work and recovery goes smoothly later. When you arrive on a fire loss, there are some things you are going to need to triage and deal with right away. Annissa walks through what that is, and how to identify key items that should be triaged, within the first few minutes of entering the home or business.
