Why Proactive Storm Monitoring Matters for Home Protection

Severe weather can cause serious roof damage in a short time. Proactive storm monitoring—knowing when hail, high winds, or heavy rain are headed your way—gives you time to secure property, move vehicles, and prepare for post-storm documentation. Toth Shield provides real-time storm alerts so members aren't caught off guard.

When a storm is imminent, you can take simple steps to reduce risk: move cars under cover if possible, secure loose items, and make sure gutters and downspouts are clear. After the storm, the same monitoring data helps support insurance claims by showing exactly when and where severe weather occurred. That timeline is valuable for adjusters and can speed up claim approval.

For agents and partners, storm monitoring isn't just about one property—it's about an entire book of business. Knowing which policies are in affected ZIP codes lets you reach out to clients quickly, offer guidance, and connect them with inspection and repair resources. Proactive outreach builds trust and differentiates you from competitors who only react after a claim is filed.

Combined with annual roof health reports and emergency tarping options, storm monitoring rounds out a full protection strategy. You're not just reacting to damage; you're preparing before it happens and documenting it properly when it does. That's the core of what Toth Shield delivers to homeowners and the professionals who serve them.

The best time to prepare for a storm is before it arrives. The second best time is right after—with clear documentation.
