Hurricane Season Prep Checklist for Adjusters

This checklist is for independent adjusters who deploy for hurricane season, staff adjusters who volunteer for CAT duty, and public adjusters who know their phones will not stop ringing from the first landfall to the last supplement.

Here is what separates a profitable season from a chaotic one: almost nothing that happens after the storm. The deciding work happens in April and May, when nobody is watching. Deployment calls give you a day or two to confirm, and every requirement they test, licenses, certifications, E&O, gear, lodging strategy, clean systems, was either handled in advance or it was not. Firms do not wait for the adjuster who needs a week to get ready. They move to the next name on the roster.

The frustrating part is that none of this is hard. It is just invisible until it is urgent. A license renewal takes minutes in March and becomes a lost deployment in August. A gear inspection costs one afternoon in spring and triple the money at storm prices. This free checklist makes the invisible work visible, in order, with nothing left to memory.

Inside the free PDF:

• The written first 48 hours plan to execute the moment the call comes
• The six pre-season mistakes that quietly cost adjusters their best deployments
