(From Buildings) The 2025 hurricane season is expected to be “above average,” with 13–19 named storms and up to 10 hurricanes, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Businesses in storm-prone areas should take this time to assess their facilities, especially roofs, for storm readiness. Proactive measures include:

  • Inspecting for loose fasteners, open seams, and edge detail issues.
  • Evaluating roof membrane types for performance under extreme weather.
  • Reviewing hurricane-rated roofing standards like FM Global 1-90 and local codes.
