A hurricane doesn't have to be headed directly toward your property to provide a valuable lesson in resilience.

In his latest article, Deft Group Founder & CEO Jeremiah Kiefer challenges property owners, managers, and community association leaders to rethink hurricane preparedness. Rather than waiting for the next storm, use every approaching hurricane as an opportunity to test emergency plans, identify vulnerabilities, and strengthen operational readiness.

Because having an emergency plan and knowing it will work are two very different things.

From two-factor authentication and stronger access controls to verifying payment instructions with a phone call, small changes can make a meaningful difference.

As Jeremiah writes, the threats may change, but the discipline of resilience planning shouldn’t.
