Hurricane season brings the potential for high winds, heavy rain, flooding, and widespread disruption. For housing organizations, preparation is essential to protect residents, staff, and property, especially in areas vulnerable to coastal storms or severe inland weather.
This guide outlines proactive steps housing providers can take before, during, and after a hurricane to reduce damage, improve communication, and support community resilience.
Hurricanes can strike with little warning and leave lasting damage in their wake. For affordable housing providers, that damage can interrupt critical services, displace residents, and delay recovery.
By establishing a hurricane plan, reinforcing property vulnerabilities, and training staff in emergency response, your organization can be better prepared to weather the storm and support a faster recovery.
