Before hurricane season
Make the property plan before a storm is on the map.
Review shutters, boards, vulnerable exterior areas, property access, contacts, and response terms while there is still time to make good decisions. Seacoast can help turn those details into a written, property-specific scope.
Property-specific planning
Put the important decisions in writing before the forecast turns urgent.
Materials and crew availability tighten as a storm approaches. Planning early gives everyone time to review the property and put realistic service terms in writing.
Pre-season property review
Walk the property, identify vulnerable exterior areas, and decide what should be repaired or prepared before weather approaches.
Opening measurements and inventory
Measure doors and windows, review existing shutters or panels, and label materials so the right pieces can be found when needed.
Written activation terms
Define who can authorize work, what Seacoast is expected to do, where materials are stored, and how weather, access, and crew capacity affect service.
Post-storm contact plan
Keep current contacts for property access, emergency decisions, damage documentation, temporary stabilization, and repair estimates.
How the conversation works
From property review to written terms
1
Start before hurricane season
Share the property address, property type, existing protection, and any recurring concerns.
2
Review the property
Seacoast can review openings, shutters or panels, exterior conditions, access, and likely preparation needs.
3
Agree on the plan
Review the included work, pricing, materials, contacts, response timing, and limits together before signing.
4
Confirm when a storm approaches
Contact Seacoast early. Weather, official restrictions, site access, and crew capacity determine what work can be performed safely.
For communities
Give the board and property team a clear playbook.
For an HOA, condominium, or multi-building property, the agreement can identify covered buildings, authorized contacts, access, material locations, preparation tasks, spending limits, and the process for approving stabilization or repairs.
Safety comes first
Follow local officials and evacuate when ordered.
Contractor availability is never a substitute for an evacuation or emergency plan. Know your zone, make arrangements for every household member and pet, and stop exterior preparation when conditions are no longer safe.
Common questions
Storm preparation FAQ
What can a storm-preparation plan include?
A property-specific plan can include an exterior review, opening measurements, an inventory of existing shutters or panels, labeling and storage notes, preparation tasks, authorized contacts, and written storm-activation terms.
Does a plan guarantee emergency response within a set time?
Response timing depends on the service agreement, weather, safety restrictions, site access, materials, and crew availability. We will explain those limits before you sign.
Can Seacoast provide a wind-mitigation inspection?
Ask whether that inspection is available for your property and who will perform it. Any potential insurance credit is determined by the insurer based on the completed report and its underwriting rules.
What happens after a storm?
When conditions are safe and access is available, Seacoast can inspect visible damage, take photos, prepare a construction estimate, discuss temporary stabilization, and scope repairs. The property owner remains responsible for filing and negotiating any insurance claim.
Can an HOA or condominium community set up a plan?
Yes, Seacoast can discuss a property-specific agreement with authorized community representatives. The final agreement should define buildings, access, contacts, scope, authorization limits, pricing, response terms, and exclusions.
Plan the work while there is still time.
