This is where Bahia Property Management steps in, providing peace of mind through proactive preparation and post-storm recovery strategies.
Proactive Property Management During Hurricane Season
Hurricanes can cause extensive damage, from high winds and flooding to prolonged power outages. Preparing a rental property goes beyond boarding up windows; it requires a comprehensive plan. A professional property management company like Bahia Property Management ensures that everything is addressed long before a storm hits.
Bahia’s Preparation Efforts Before the Storm
Bahia Property Management takes a systematic approach to storm preparation, which includes:
Tenant Communication: Bahia ensures all tenants are aware of the hurricane procedures, including evacuation routes and emergency contacts.
Storm Readiness: We encourage the securing of outdoor furniture, trimming of trees, and reinforcement of doors and windows to minimize potential damage.
Tenant Support: We keep tenants informed with storm updates, ensuring transparency and reassurance.
What Happens When an Evacuation is Ordered
When a mandatory evacuation is issued, Bahia’s team steps in to facilitate a smooth transition:
Clear Communication: Tenants are informed to follow immediate evacuation instructions and timelines.
Final Property Checks: Before evacuation deadlines, tenants are encouraged to perform walk-throughs to ensure the property is as stormproof as possible, including photos for insurance purposes.
Emergency Contact Line: Bahia provides an emergency line for tenants, ensuring that critical information is received soon after the storm.
Post-Storm Recovery: Bahia’s Commitment to Rapid Response
After the storm passes, Bahia Property Management moves quickly to:
Property Assessments: Initial assessments are conducted to determine the extent of damages once these are reported.

Tenant Support: We keep tenants informed of property status and repair timelines, ensuring transparency and reassurance.
