Project Toolkit / Hurricane Shutter Checklist

Florida storm planning

Check the shutters before the weather makes it urgent.

Create a practical storm-readiness checklist for operating shutters, remotes, locks, tracks and visible hardware. It is a planning aid, not a forecast or official preparedness certification.

Useful pre-storm checks

Work through the basics early.

  • Operate shutters, remotes, locks and manual overrides while conditions are calm.
  • Check that tracks are clear and visible hardware is secure.
  • Locate batteries, flashlights, chargers, access notes and key contacts.
  • Document questions for service before a rush begins.

What to remember

Do not overstate what a checklist can do.

  • It does not predict storms, certify a shutter system or replace an inspection.
  • It cannot confirm wind-load rating, code, hidden damage or manufacturer requirements.
  • For a shutter that will not secure before a storm, use the urgent-repair guide or call Aces.

Privacy: Checklist progress is local to the browser. It does not access Aces photos, Field Intelligence or any private property file.

Need a service record too?

The separate shutter tracker lets you keep opening names, service dates, motor/control notes and repair observations on the current device.
