With the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicting an above-average 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, property managers across Tennessee and the Southeast face increased risk of loss at their locations. While coastal cities are more likely to face the worst of such storms, inland areas like Nashville aren’t immune to destructive wind, flash flooding, and widespread power outages.
The key to protecting your tenants, assets, and operations lies in storm preparedness now, not when a hurricane is already on the radar. That’s where a well-executed Emergency Response Preparedness Plan (ERPP) can make all the difference.
Why 2025 Demands a New Level of Storm Preparedness
Experts warn that warmer ocean temperatures and shifting climate patterns may contribute to one of the most active hurricane seasons on record. That means more storms, stronger surges, and greater uncertainty for commercial property owners. Without a disaster plan in place, a single storm can leave buildings inaccessible, leases in limbo, and reputations on the line.
ASDT helps property managers identify risks early and prepare strategically, minimizing downtime and damage when storms strike. Our team uses exacting damage assessments, insurance coordination, and site-specific safety planning to put you ahead of the storm.
What Is an ERPP, and Why Does It Matter?
An Emergency Response Preparedness Plan (ERPP) is a customized document that outlines what to do before, during, and after a disaster. At ASDT, our ERPPs are tailored for each commercial property we serve. They include:
- Contact and access protocols for tenants, staff, and vendors
- Utility shut-off locations and emergency exits
- Critical asset inventory and documentation
- Insurance-ready pre-loss photos and site assessments
- Priority response agreements to secure resources when disasters strike
Having an ERPP in place allows property managers to act fast and smart to protect their assets and residents.
Enhancing Your Disaster Plan with iGUIDE 3D Imaging
ASDT uses iGUIDE 3D imaging as a powerful tool for emergency response planning. Before disaster strikes, our team captures a full panoramic and laser-accurate digital walkthrough of your building. This advanced scan provides a detailed, measurable floor plan that documents window placements, square footage, appliance locations, and more.
The benefits are twofold: First, ASDT arrives on-site already familiar with your property’s layout, which accelerates response and recovery. Second, this 3D model can serve as documented proof of your property’s pre-loss condition, supporting insurance claims and streamlining the adjustment process.
Best of all, this service is offered at no additional cost and with no obligation—it simply gives you and your restoration team a smarter way to prepare.
