Natural disasters come in many shapes and sizes.  It could be a tornado, a flood, Superstorm Sandy, or a wildfire.  Regardless of the type of disaster, the devastation and loss is often overwhelming.  With some thought and planning before a disaster, your association can be better prepared to address the needs of the association and its homeowners if a disaster strikes.  This article provides examples of what associations should consider in order to facilitate disaster response.
