June 1 marks the official start of hurricane season, but the threat environment for coastal property owners begins earlier and extends further than the named storm calendar. Tropical waves, early-season tropical storms, and severe frontal systems all contribute to a risk profile that demands proactive preparation.
Pre-Season Property Assessment
A pre-season walkthrough of commercial coastal properties should cover: roof membrane condition and recent patching; window and door seal integrity; HVAC equipment tie-down; vegetation proximity to the building envelope; and existing enclosure or tarp inventory status.
Pre-Positioning Agreements
StormWrappers offers pre-season pre-positioning agreements for portfolio property managers, guaranteeing crew and material availability for named storm responses at a negotiated rate. This eliminates the spot market competition that drives prices up during active storm seasons.
Post-Storm Response Staging
When a tropical system is in the Gulf or Atlantic, StormWrappers pre-stages crews and material inventory at locations within the projected track cone. This pre-staging enables faster post-landfall deployment than a response originating from a distant base.
