How To Prevent Storm Damage

1. Develop a Storm Preparedness Plan

   • Create a comprehensive storm preparedness plan that outlines the steps your business should take in the event of a storm. Ensure all employees are familiar with this plan.

2. Regular Building Inspections

   • Schedule regular inspections of your commercial property to identify and address potential weaknesses or damage. Pay special attention to the roof, windows, and doors.

3. Proper Roof Maintenance

   • Regularly inspect and maintain your roof to prevent leaks. Replace damaged or missing shingles, repair flashing, and ensure the roof is secure.

4. Storm-Resistant Windows and Doors

   • Consider installing impact-resistant windows and doors that can withstand high winds and flying debris.

5. Secure Loose Objects

   • Before a storm arrives, secure loose objects outside the building. This includes signs, outdoor furniture, and anything that could become a projectile in high winds.

6. Invest in Backup Power

   • Install a backup power source like a generator to keep essential systems running during power outages.

7. Flood Prevention

   • If your business is in a flood-prone area, consider investing in flood barriers, sandbags, or sump pumps to prevent water damage.

8. Proper Drainage Systems

   • Ensure that your property's drainage systems are clear and functioning correctly. Clogged drains can lead to flooding.

9. Regular Tree Maintenance

   • Trim or remove trees close to your building that could pose a threat during high winds. Maintain the health of trees on your property to reduce the risk of falling limbs.

10. Secure Important Documents and Equipment

    • Store critical documents and valuable equipment in waterproof and secure containers, ideally at a higher elevation within your building.

11. Insurance Review

    • Review your commercial insurance policy to ensure it adequately covers storm damage. Consult with your insurance provider to understand the extent of your coverage.
