Tip
The Storm center is the hurricane and severe-weather mode for South Florida job sites. Without an active storm it shows the live weather alerts feed, the number of active jobs, scaffolds standing and field employees, any jobs still needing a post-storm inspection, and the storm history. The system then shows the storm banner to everyone, creates a storm-prep checklist for every active job in those counties, creates billable "Hurricane prep" work orders, and notifies the customers of those jobs and all field crews. If it says "Storm mode is already active.", clear the current storm first. Available to Owner / Administrator, Office Manager and Dispatcher. Refresh live NWS feed updates the weather alerts list. Each job card on the readiness board has a checklist, for example: remove debris netting / wrap, secure or remove loose planks and materials, verify tie-ins and bracing, lower and secure swing stages, remove hoist cars / tie off masts, dismantle at-risk scaffolds and photo-document the condition.
