Description

With hurricane season bringing unpredictable and often severe weather, being prepared isn’t just a best practice—it’s a necessity. From ensuring the safety of workers on active job sites to securing materials and equipment, contractors have a lot at stake. But preparation doesn’t stop there. Understanding the right insurance needs and risk management strategies can mean the difference between a quick recovery and a costly setback.In this episode, we are joined by Jonathan Falk, the Director of Disaster Operations for the National Association of Homebuilders, and Lauren VanLandingham, our Director of Sales at Builders Mutual. Jonathan and Lauren stop by to discuss the importance of preparation before a storm hits, some steps to take to stay prepared, common mistakes to avoid moving forward, and the insurance considerations to keep in mind following a disaster.
