In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, many self storage owners across the southeast experienced one of the D's that drive rentals in our industry- Disaster. Whether it's a hurricane, tornado, fire, burglary, or some other form, disaster hits us all. Are you prepared? The best plan is one that's in place before disaster strikes, but even in the midst of a tragic event like Hurricane Helene there are positive things you can do both for your business and community.

How can you be prepared? What should that plan look like? What are some wise (and some unwise) decisions to consider when the power is out, internet is down, flooding is coming, and tenants need their goods? We cover all of this as we look ahead to whatever disaster may be coming next.
