If a guest made a reservation prior to you having a hurricane or weather policy in place, let them know how the situation would be handled before a hurricane or a bad storm arises.As far as prepping your property goes, I would recommend checking the following boxes at a minimum before a storm/hurricane emerges:- Have a plan in place to secure outdoor furniture and miscellaneous items- Trim trees & branches- Have a protection plan in place for windows and doors- Waterproof important documents- Put fragile items or valuables on elevated surfaces- Review your insurance policy- Check that your roof and siding is secured and not loose- Ensure you still have an effective way to communicate in the case that service goes out in the areaIf you do not live near your property and are unable to check these boxes, find a reliable handyman and/or professional that will be able to complete these tasks for you.If I am missing anything, please add your suggestions below!
