Prepare for hurricane season: Steps to take before storms hit Dear FM Global
Client,

Hurricane season starts June 1. With the frequency and severity of these storms
increasing due to climate change, I want to partner with you to help ensure you
are prepared to protect your property and avoid business disruption. Please
review these precautions and let me know any concerns you may have about
protecting your facilities.

Now, you can get FM Global’s climate risk resources by simply typing
www.climateresilience.com in your browser. Remember to also use our Hurricane
Loss Control Center for a wealth of windstorm and flood loss prevention
resources.

Here are steps to take now and resources to keep handy.

Before a storm: •  Before a major storm hits, take time to review your emergency
planning procedures and update them as needed. Hurricanes produce strong and
dangerous winds along with heavy rain and flooding. With proper preparation, you
can weather these storms and help reduce your exposure to a loss. •  Along with
potential wind and flood losses and other serious consequences, your facility
could be affected by power outages, access difficulties, or interruptions to
your water supply. Your emergency planning procedures should provide for these
types of occurrences. •  The most critical and economically practical action you
should complete before a storm is to ensure that any rooftop equipment is
properly secured. The FEMA Rooftop Equipment Maintenance and Attachment in
High-Wind Regions brochure contains recommended guidelines on this topic. • 
Remove “all loose items” (including obsolete equipment/materials) from your
roof! Also, check around the facility for anything that could become windblown
debris (like equipment, tools and trashcans) and either move them inside or
secure them. •  Confirm you have all necessary storm preparation materials
available (onsite or offsite storage) now. This could include hurricane
shutters, flood mitigation equipment, tarps, etc. Once the storm is headed your
way, these items will be in high demand and may no longer be available • 
Mobilize any of your contractors who maintain the facility and put them on alert
in case you need them during or after the storm. •  Assign someone to monitor
the local river for cresting. (Helpful websites are listed below.) •  Implement
your emergency response plan (ERP) and/or flood emergency response plan (FERP).
•  Review and implement the items on the flood and windstorm checklists. •  See
“FM Global’s Catastrophe Response” for information on what to expect from both
FM Global engineering and claims before and after a catastrophe. FM Global
