Future-Proofing Properties: Integrating Shrink Wrap into Disaster Preparedness Plans

Future-Proofing Properties: Integrating Shrink Wrap into Disaster Preparedness Plans

Disaster recovery starts long before the wind picks up. For property managers, municipal planners, and institutional facilities, the smartest strategy isn’t just responding fast — it’s being ready before the storm hits. Shrink wrap can play a vital role in that readiness.

Shrink Wrap: Not Just for Emergencies

Most people think of shrink wrap as a reactive tool — applied after roofs are torn or windows blown out. But savvy property owners are changing that mindset.

By integrating shrink wrap into your pre-storm playbook, you can:

  • Pre-authorize vendors for rapid response
  • Pre-stage materials and equipment onsite
  • Identify vulnerable structures that may require enclosure even before the storm
  • Avoid delays from contractor shortages or supply chain issues during peak season

Who Should Be Planning Ahead?

Shrink wrap belongs in the disaster plans of:

  • School districts maintaining open campuses year-round
  • Hospitals and care facilities that can’t afford shutdowns
  • Warehouses with sensitive inventory or equipment
  • Condo boards and HOAs managing multiple rooftops
  • Government agencies and first responder facilities

Benefits of Planning Now

  • Faster recovery time post-event
  • Reduced cost of damage from secondary exposure
  • Clear documentation for FEMA, insurance, and code enforcement
  • Increased confidence from tenants, residents, or leadership teams
