Property and Catastrophe Review
A property review should address freeze protection, heating, snow load, water damage, and winter access; 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 peak-season revenue, reservations, events, staffing, and the cost of downtime; machinery dependencies, utilities, spoilage, production bottlenecks, and extra expense; 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 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.
