Hurricane Season Has Already Started in Florida — Are You Ready?
The hurricane season in South Florida officially began on June 1st, but there’s still time to take crucial steps that can reduce damage and accelerate recovery.
If you’re a property owner or manager, taking action now—before the first major storm hits—can make all the difference. Every year, those who prepare early and partner with trusted vendors like WRG achieve faster, more efficient property restoration after a hurricane.
Key Steps for Effective Hurricane Season Preparation in Florida
Below are essential actions you can still take to protect your property and ensure a faster, smoother response in the event of a storm.
1. Urgently Review Contracts with Critical Vendors
If you haven’t already, now is the time to review contracts with essential service providers. Make sure:
- Agreements with roofing, electrical, debris removal, and property restoration companies are current and clearly outline emergency response terms.
- You have priority service clauses in place.
- You designate WRG as your preferred restoration provider to secure quick action after a storm.
Pro Tip: WRG offers priority response agreements to proactive clients—it’s not too late to enroll.
When disaster strikes, every minute counts. Authorized access allows vendors to begin restoration immediately without delay. Ensure that you:
- Create and sign access letters for all key vendors.
- Include clear entry instructions for cases where power or systems may be down.
- Store and share digital copies with your internal team and emergency contacts.
3. Off-Site Backups and Digital Documentation
If you haven’t yet organized essential documentation, do it this week. You should:
- Back up insurance policies, service contracts, and emergency plans.
- Store documents in the cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive) with secure access.
- Share login credentials with trusted team members who will be decision-makers in a crisis.
4. Staff Communication and Emergency Training
A well-designed plan is useless if your team doesn’t know how to follow it. Early in the season, take time to:
- Hold a quick meeting to review your emergency response plan.
- Assign a “restoration coordinator” to serve as the point of contact with vendors like WRG.
- Set up a dedicated communication channel (e.g., WhatsApp group, internal app, shared email thread).
