Post-Storm Security Checklist

High-velocity wind gusts up to 80 MPH can easily tear away older asphalt tabs. Review how this structural hazard affects filing a storm insurance claim. If rafters or bare plywood deck sections are exposed to rainfall, home moisture rot expands exponentially.

Ensure any matched emergency crew applies water-tight physical tarpaulins with heavy wooden securing battens over any leaks within 24 hours. Keep full documentation copies to claim emergency reimbursement from insurance underwriters.
