Storm Preparation Checklist

Storms don’t just bring bad weather - they bring disruption.
High winds, heavy rain and flooding can shut sites, block access routes and damage property fast.

Preparation is what keeps things moving.

Here’s a simple Storm Preparation Checklist to help you get ready before conditions hit:

✅ Before the Storm

• Identify vulnerable areas: doors, drains, low points and exposed routes
• Secure loose items, fencing, signage and temporary works
• Check stock levels of sand bags and rock salt
• Make sure materials are stored somewhere accessible

✅ During the Storm

• Deploy sand bags early to manage surface water and flood risk
• Use rock salt where icy conditions develop alongside rain or cold snaps
• Monitor movement of barriers and signage
• Keep priority access routes open where safe to do so

✅ After the Storm

• Inspect sites for pooling water or damage
• Replace displaced or saturated sand bags
• Re-salt areas at risk of refreezing
• Restock immediately - storms often come in quick succession
