Turn Florida Conditions Into Specific Questions
Property and Catastrophe Review
A property review should address wind, coastal water, roof, opening-protection, and restoration-time assumptions; site elevation, drainage, flood-zone information, building contents, and recovery funding. Values and business-income assumptions should reflect current rebuilding and reopening timelines.
Business Continuity and Income
Continuity planning should examine critical suppliers, cargo flows, inventory concentration, and alternate sourcing; peak-season revenue, reservations, events, staffing, and the cost of downtime; data, payment systems, vendors, contractual obligations, and cyber interruption. The submission should explain practical alternatives if a primary location, supplier, or system becomes unavailable.
Vehicles, Travel, and Mobile Operations
Businesses should review vehicle schedules, driver selection, routes, radius, cargo, and loss history; job-site travel, hired and non-owned vehicles, mobile equipment, and subcontractor controls. Current vehicle, driver, and loss information helps distinguish the actual operation from a generic fleet description.
