2026 Signal Restoration Hurricane Checklist

The Hurricane Preparedness and Response Checklist offers a comprehensive guide for hoteliers to safeguard properties and ensure business continuity during hurricane season. Key preparatory steps include conducting a risk assessment, establishing communication protocols, and forming emergency response teams. Hoteliers are advised to secure sensitive assets, update contact information, and rehearse disaster plans. This strategic approach also emphasizes the importance of collaborating with disaster resilience partners for a pre-planning evaluation.

During the storm, the checklist prioritizes activating response teams, securing premises, and maintaining clear communication with employees about safety measures and operational status. Hotels should videotape property conditions for insurance purposes and provide employees with resources and relocation support. Post-storm recovery focuses on evaluating damage, coordinating repairs, and continuously updating staff on progress. By implementing these steps, hoteliers can better protect their assets and support their teams, ensuring swift recovery and sustained operations.
