🌀 Hurricane Ready? Here’s What Needs to Be on Your Security Checklist
In Florida, hurricane prep is a season—not a single-day event. Whether you’re a homeowner, property manager, or business owner, your security system plays a critical role in storm readiness.
Here’s what we recommend checking before the wind picks up:
✅ 1. Backup Battery Power
Most alarm panels and gate operators need backup batteries to function when the power goes out. These batteries typically last 3–5 years—if it’s been longer than that, it’s time to check or replace them.
✅ 2. Monitored Smoke & CO Detectors
Fires and gas leaks can become even more dangerous during power outages. Make sure your detectors are monitored so help is on the way even if you’re not home.
✅ 3. Access Control & Gate Operators
Don’t get locked out (or stuck in) when the power drops. Ensure access systems have manual release functions and that your team or residents know how to use them. Consider scheduled overrides or open-gate protocols for severe weather events.
✅ 4. Camera & Monitoring System Checks
Power surges and storms can impact camera feeds and recording quality. Make sure everything is working—and that you can check in remotely.
✅ 5. RF Site Surveys for New Construction
If you’re building or managing new property, Florida law (Statute 633.202) requires an RF site survey to determine if your building needs a BDA/DAS system. We’re certified to conduct these tests and provide turnkey solutions.
Stay Safe, Stay Ready
Storm prep isn’t just about flashlights and bottled water. The right security setup can save lives and protect property.
