- Stage critical supplies: board-up materials, tarps, water vacuums, generators, portable lighting
- Confirm a Rapid Response agreement is in place with a licensed restoration GC
- Back up tenant rosters, lease documents, and vendor contracts to off-site cloud storage
During the Event
- Prioritize life-safety: evacuate, shelter, or shelter-in-place per local guidance
- Shut off water main, gas, and non-essential power if safe to do so
- Stay clear of standing water near electrical equipment
