On the ground

When the wind stops, the clock starts.

Rescue, relief, repair — the same team, agreed in advance, moving in one direction.

The recovery clock

First the emergency. Then the help. Then the long part.

Every storm follows the same shape. Knowing who is supposed to do what, and at what price, is the difference between weeks and months.

  1. Hours 0–72

    The emergency

    Search and rescue, road clearing, power and water outages. Nobody is thinking about paperwork yet.

    First responders, county emergency management, volunteers

  2. Day 3 – week 2

    Immediate help

    Food, water, shelter, tarps and generators. Damage gets photographed and the first claims go in.

    Nonprofits, faith groups, donated equipment and transport

  3. Week 2 – month 2

    Made safe and dry

    Water extraction, drying, mould treatment, roof tarping and board-up. Adjusters inspect and scope the loss.

    Licensed mitigation and roofing crews, insurance adjusters

  4. Month 2 – month 12

    The rebuild

    Permits, materials, full repairs and final walk-through. This is where families most often get stuck waiting.

    General contractors, trades, carrier claim teams

  5. Year one and after

    What happens next

    Supplements, disputes, unfinished work and families still out of their homes — the part nobody plans for.

Storm resources

What we all watch when it hits

The same tools our partners and adjusters use — connectivity, tracking and live outage counts. Free to use, no account with us needed.

Stay connected

When cell towers and internet go down, satellite service keeps crews, shelters and families reachable.

Track the storm

Forecast models, satellite loops and live coverage in one place, alongside the official advisories.

See who has no power

Outage maps show where crews are needed and how many customers are still out, county by county.

Florida Panhandle help

From Pensacola to Tallahassee and Panama City — shelters, evacuation orders and local updates.

These are independent services we link to for convenience. We are not affiliated with them and they do not sponsor or endorse the alliance.
