Hurricane & Tropical Storm Damage Restoration & Recovery
QUICKLY RECOVER OPERATIONS FOLLOWING A HURRICANE with cotton
To get your business back up and running following a hurricane or tropical storm, Cotton Global Disaster Solutions works with Cotton Roofing, Cotton Logistics, and Cotton Culinary to restore your physical property and provide support on all fronts, including temporary facilities and catering services.
During a tropical storm, wind speeds can reach upwards of 73 MPH, and for hurricanes, 74 MPH is the minimum baseline. High-speed winds have the power to damage roofs and break windows, leaving businesses exposed and vulnerable during and after the storm. In addition to damaging winds, continuous rainfall could lead to extensive water damages in and around commercial properties.
Cotton Global Disaster Solutions is available 24/7 and is committed to acting fast in the wake of a disaster to help business leaders recover their properties and assets as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ How can I prepare my business for a hurricane or tropical storm?
Before a hurricane or tropical storm, your business should monitor weather reports and follow the orders of local authorities. To protect your assets and property, store important equipment and documents in safe areas and board-up windows if possible. You can also begin planning for hurricane damage restoration way before a disaster strikes. Consult with your disaster recovery company, such as Cotton GDS, as you build your business continuity plan. Signing an MSA can speed up the recovery process with the disaster recovery company you trust.
+ How fast can Cotton GDS respond with hurricane damage restoration or flood cleanup?
Cotton GDS is available 24/7 and works around the clock to recover your business as soon as possible following any disaster or damaging event. Prior to the storm’s landing, Cotton’s internal Watch team monitors weather activity, which allows Cotton Representatives to alert companies within the path of the storm and keep them updated. With strategic partners located around the U.S., Mexico, and Puerto Rico, Cotton GDS can quickly mobilize its crews and assets to the disaster scene to begin recovery efforts.
+ If my commercial property needs storm damage restoration or cleanup, should I call my insurance first?
After a hurricane or tropical storm, insurance companies prefer you to call a commercial restoration company, like Cotton GDS, first to assess the damages as soon as possible and provide a restoration estimate. The sooner Cotton GDS arrives, the sooner the recovery process can begin.
