Plan ahead
Why prep matters before the season starts.
Preparing early creates time to measure openings, inspect existing protection, identify missing materials, and agree on what Seacoast will do if a storm approaches.
Measure the openings
Document each opening and the protection already on site before time and access become limited.
Inventory materials
Identify missing boards, shutters, fasteners, labels, and storage needs before a storm is nearby.
Confirm activation terms
Put the requested work, response limitations, access requirements, and material responsibilities in writing.
