Commercial catastrophe response
Get your storm response agreement in place.
For Okaloosa and Walton County properties, agree on access and authority before a hurricane interrupts operations. A response conversation can cover the MSA, management and association contacts, building priorities, common areas, individual units and approved emergency work. Share your operating schedule and occupancy needs so the activation process fits the property.
Agree on the work process
Review authorization, pricing structure, communication, documentation and how emergency work or later changes will be approved.
Confirm mobilization
Discuss staffing and equipment needs, access and response capacity. Arrival timing and any reserved resources must be expressly confirmed in the agreement.
Call 866-535-036324/7 emergency line
A clear agreement, before a crisis.
An inquiry starts a conversation; it does not reserve crews or create a contract. Response timing, resource commitments, pricing and authorization are established in the executed agreement. Want a longer-term facility plan? Explore our Pre-Disaster Plan program.
Emergency mitigation & recovery
Stop the damage. Start the recovery.
The right response starts with the source of water, the materials affected and the way your building operates. We coordinate the work in a practical sequence, with documented conditions and a defined scope.
Floodwater removal & cleanup
Extract standing water, identify affected rooms and assemblies, remove unsalvageable materials within the approved scope, and clean the work area. Floodwater and storm-surge losses are evaluated for contamination before the cleanup approach is selected. At multi-unit properties, trace water across rooms and common elements while keeping extraction and affected-material decisions tied to the correct authorization.
Structural drying & moisture control
Map moisture in walls, floors and other affected materials; select air movement and dehumidification for the building and loss conditions; then monitor progress. Drying decisions follow material readings and the approved recovery plan, not surface appearance alone. Assess moisture beyond visible staining and plan equipment placement around corridors, occupied areas and available electrical service.
Temporary building protection
Assess storm-related openings and coordinate board-up, temporary weather protection and roof tarping where conditions allow. Stabilization priorities focus on limiting additional intrusion and protecting occupied or undamaged areas. Discuss roof or opening protection only after safe access and building conditions are reviewed. Coordinate work areas with management and any occupied portions of the property.
Contents & affected materials
Identify furniture, equipment, documents and inventory exposed to water. Coordinate protection, item documentation, cleaning, movement or pack-out as the scope requires. Separate salvage decisions from disposal so ownership can review the condition and available options. Separate guest or resident belongings, association-owned items and commercial inventory. Agree on handling, photographs and movement before contents are relocated.
Cleaning & environmental needs
Plan debris removal, detailed cleaning and affected-material removal around the loss conditions. Where suspect materials or microbial concerns are present, identify the need for qualified assessment, containment and a defined remediation scope before work expands. Occupied hospitality and multifamily sites require attention to separation, circulation and communication as cleaning and affected-material removal proceed.
Repair & reconstruction planning
Move from emergency work to a documented repair plan for finishes, assemblies and building systems. Coordinate scope, qualified trades, permitting and sequencing before reconstruction. Regulated work is reviewed for the applicable licensing and project requirements. Confirm the repair scope, responsible ownership entity, qualified trades and required permits. Set phased turnover expectations before finish work begins.
Back to Business™
A clear path from first call to reopening.
- Assess and authorize.
Review the property, damage, access and critical operations. Confirm the authorized contact, initial scope, response availability and work authorization.
- Stabilize and document.
Coordinate extraction, temporary protection, cleaning and drying. Keep photos, moisture readings, work records and scope changes organized by building and affected area.
- Plan the return to service.
Review remaining repairs, contents needs and milestones with your team. Coordinate qualified trades and phased reopening where building conditions and approvals allow.
Local property needs
A property-specific plan for the Emerald Coast.
Commercial response requests cover Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Niceville, Mary Esther, Miramar Beach, Santa Rosa Beach and South Walton. Hotels and condominiums are part of the coverage, alongside retail centers, offices, healthcare, schools, industrial facilities and multifamily communities. Each property is assessed on its own conditions and authorization.
Fort Walton Beach & Okaloosa County
Coordinate offices, schools, healthcare, retail, multifamily and industrial sites around critical rooms, equipment and safe circulation. Share the number of buildings, loading access, available power and the areas that must return to use first. Establish one site contact for scope and status decisions.
Destin & Miramar Beach
For hospitality, condominium and mixed-use buildings, separate guest or resident areas, back-of-house rooms, commercial tenants and common elements. Obtain the correct access and work authorization for each area. A clear location log helps avoid confusion as extraction, contents handling and drying move through the building.
South Walton & Santa Rosa Beach
Associations and commercial portfolios may include several structures under different management or ownership arrangements. Supply an address list, contact hierarchy and priorities. Identify access limitations and equipment-staging options; review conditions at each building before committing to a shared schedule.
Commercial focus
Recovery decisions are business decisions.
A recovery plan must account for more than vacant rooms. Guest operations, residents, tenant stock, common corridors and back-of-house systems may all be affected differently. We work with the authorized property team to define the work areas, documentation and sequence that support a controlled return to service.
Owners & property managers
Coordinate offices, shopping centers, apartments, associations and hospitality properties with a defined point of contact. Track affected spaces, work authorizations and tenant communication so the response stays organized.
Healthcare, education & public facilities
Identify essential services, restricted areas, occupancy concerns and the facility's own operating protocols. Plan access and work sequencing with the people responsible for the building.
Manufacturing, industrial & warehousing
Account for equipment, products, loading access, power and the areas most critical to production. Discuss large-area extraction, drying requirements and safe equipment placement before mobilization.
Portfolio & multi-building losses
Set a priority order, confirm the authorized contact at each address, and maintain a separate scope and record for each property. Central coordination helps ownership see what is happening across the loss.
Document the work. Clarify the next step.
A recovery record your team can follow.
Keep common-area, individual-unit and commercial-tenant scopes distinct. Label photos and readings by building, floor and room or unit; record who approved the work and any change in scope. That structure gives ownership, management and claim representatives a usable record as the project progresses.
- Photos and notes identifying affected rooms, materials and conditions.
- Moisture assessment and drying progress records for the agreed scope.
- Labor, equipment and material records tied to the work performed.
- Work authorizations, scope changes and remaining repair needs.
Have this ready when you call
- Property name, street address and the best callback number.
- Building use, approximate size and areas believed to be affected.
- Safe access, occupancy and any restrictions already identified.
- Who can approve work and any existing vendor or insurance instructions.
- Your immediate priority: planning, extraction, protection or drying.
Send information you already have. Do not delay an urgent call to assemble a complete file.
Talk to ReBuilders: 866-535-0363Questions from property teams
Commercial hurricane response: what to expect.
Can we put an agreement in place before the hurricane?
Yes. Request a conversation about an MSA or property-specific response agreement. We review the property, authorized contacts, likely needs, commercial terms and activation process. Any timing or resource commitment must be expressly confirmed in the executed agreement.
Can you help if the building is already flooded?
Call 866-535-0363 with the property address, safe-access status, type of building and a brief description of the damage. We review current availability and the immediate stabilization needs. Follow emergency officials' directions; do not enter an unsafe or restricted building.
Do we have to be enrolled in the PDP program?
No. You can request emergency services or discuss an MSA without enrolling in a Pre-Disaster Plan. PDP is a separate option for owners who want a more detailed, ongoing facility planning program.
What records can support the property and claim file?
The agreed scope can include condition photos, affected-area records, moisture readings, drying progress, labor and equipment documentation, and approved changes. Share your adjuster's contact and requested documentation with the project team. Coverage and claim decisions remain with the insurer.
How quickly can work start?
Timing depends on the location, safe access, the condition of the building, signed authorization and available crews and equipment. Call for a property-specific assessment. A website inquiry alone is not a dispatch confirmation.
How do you separate common-area work from individual-unit work?
We identify the authorized parties and document the affected locations before expanding the scope. Association, owner and tenant responsibilities can differ, so the project needs a clear approval process for each area. Building, floor and unit identifiers stay with the photos, moisture records and work documentation. Your management team should confirm access and authority before crews enter individual units.
