Hurricane Vulnerability Building Assessments

 

Hurricane season runs from June through November.  If disaster strikes, inadequate preparations can result in heavy personal and financial loss.  CIH Environmental Solutions can assess disaster protection programs, ensuring that necessary requirements are met to limit company loss and liability.

Hurricane assessments conducted by CIH Environmental Solutions personnel include site visits and emergency operating procedure overview.  During the review process, CIH Environmental Solutions will evaluate escape routes, evacuation guides, and utility shut-off procedures (this includes electrical, gas and domestic water).  Shut-off procedures are especially critical because natural gas leaks, electricity malfunctions, fires, and explosions can create liability issues following a disaster.

Site visits include inspection of windows and door shutters.  Roofs are also inspected and rated for potential vulnerabilities.  Among these vulnerabilities is susceptibility to water damage, which can cause microbial (bacteria and mold) contamination and physically damage important records within the office.

To protect businesses from damage, building inspection, maintenance and other preventive actions are available through our Hurricane Vulnerability Building Assessments.  All procedures photographically document site conditions and storage practices (in the event insurance claims need be made).
