for what and have drills often enough to assure that all are aware of what they need to do. Have contingency plans if any individuals aren’t in the area when a warning is issued. Remember that property can be repaired or replaced. You and your people are much more important. Keep that in mind as you develop your plans and make sure everyone understands what risks they should not take. People safety comes first.
Tornados are also somewhat predictable. Tere is usually a warning, but the path of the actual tornado is usually fairly narrow and not as easily predicted. If you are in an area where tornados might occur, have a clear plan for protection and/or evacuation. Tornado drills might be imperative as each tornado season approaches. Remember though, they can occur even when not “in season.”
Floods also may be predictable. If you are in a flood prone area, it is important to have a plan in place in case one is imminent. (See the sidebar: Dealing with a Flood.)
Disaster Strikes. Now What? No matter how well you plan, if a disaster strikes it is going to affect you and your business. How you proceed from the point of the strike forward can have a tremendous affect on how well a major investment, your business, survives.
Te first step is to make sure that all people are safe. If there have been any injuries make sure the individuals receive all necessary care. Call 911 if any help is needed.
Next check on and care for any pets or other living creatures. After that, do whatever is necessary to secure the property. Close off any access that you can. You don’t need curious onlookers getting in the way. Ten start taking pictures. Document as much of the damage as possible. Video can give a better overview of any damage. Still photography can provide more detail, but remember that stills can be captured from video if needed.
Next call your insurance company or agent. Your pre- planning should provide a good idea of what cleanup steps you can take immediately and what should be left for an adjuster to look at first. Waiting for an adjuster is not an excuse to allow more damage to occur because proper protection or security steps were not taken.
Before you start the cleanup make certain that everyone is aware of all safety precautions and that they are followed. Make sure everyone working has the proper personal protection equipment (PPE). Tis could include, but not be limited to: gloves, masks, boots, bug spray, hard hats and other necessary protective clothing.
As you implement the plan you had prepared in case disaster should strike, stick to it as rigidly as possible. At the same time look for opportunities to deviate from the plan in ways you hadn’t previously thought of to make the actual job easier, to save some expenses, or otherwise provide a better outcome to a bad situation.

The Microclover begins to produce nitrogen naturally within 8 to 10 months after establishment. Therefore it is recommended that a nitrogen source be applied at least two times to aid in the turfgrass establishment. Phosphate and potash levels should be checked by soil testing and balanced prior to seeding. After a year the 3-D Self Feeding Lawn will produce the needed nitrogen for most cool season turf applications. Phosphate and potash levels should be checked every 2 levels for optimum plant health.

SELF FEEDING. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY. Sustainable Option… Its time to do your part, the thought of a “Self Feeding Lawn” is now reality, 3D Sod Self Feed- ing Lawn (SFL) will provide you a lawn to be proud of while helping you to do your part in the evolving circle of sustain- ability. A naturally darker, denser turf.
Innovative Sod Solutions
3-D Self Feeding Lawn is working with nature to produce a higher quality turf while reducing our impact on the environment. Sounds too good to be true, right?
Breeders at DLF-TRIFOLIUM from Denmark spent over 12 years creating a new dwarf small leave White dutch clover that produces nitrogen naturally. The White Clover that we see growing wild tends to dominate the turf.
Whereas the Microclover has been breed to be dwarf and not nearly as aggressive as it’s wild counter part so that this new proprietary clover can coexist to really serve the grasses versus being in competition with them.
Self Feeding Lawn
What is amazing in addition to the clover feeding the turfgrass is the improvement in heat and drought tolerance in the turfgrasses and improved competition to common turf weeds.
3-D SELF FEEDING LAWN BENEFITS. Feeds itself naturally, continuously producing a healthier turf without the peaks and valleys associated with nitrogen fertilizer applications.
Im-
proved Heat and Drought Tolerance during the summer months with all grass species tested. Improves competition with unwanted weeds to reduce if not eliminate the need for herbicides. Improved turf health ap- pears to increase turf wear tolerance.
If it’s not 3-D Sod, It’s Just Grass®
