Tropical Storm Home Documentation — Florida
Florida tropical storms routinely flood streets during king tides, overwhelm drainage across Central and South Florida, and damage roofs without a hurricane landfall. Document the baseline before each watch so you are not rebuilding an inventory from memory.
Preparation checklist for Florida
- ✓ Document shutters, impact glass, and garage doors before Tropical Storm watches.
- ✓ Photograph canal and bayfront elevations that flood during prolonged rain.
- ✓ Capture HVAC pads and outdoor equipment that flood without a hurricane.
- ✓ Update the vault after every named storm — Florida seasons stack events.
- ✓ Keep an off-site vault backup — see the Vault Backup guide.
- ✓ Ask about on-site capture along the Gulf Coast — travel bookings considered via Concierge.
