Storm & catastrophe restoration

Catastrophe work scales fast, and so does the exposure.

Storm and catastrophe restoration means surging crews and equipment to a disaster, often across state lines, working long hours on damaged structures under pressure. Rapid scaling, temporary labor, out-of-state operations, and equipment on the road create exposures a static contractor policy is not built for.

Storm and catastrophe restoration contractors typically need general liability, workers compensation, commercial auto, and equipment coverage that can travel, plus contractors pollution liability and care, custody, and control. The defining issues are multi-state operations, temporary and surge labor, and equipment constantly on the move, which the program has to accommodate.

Operations that cross state lines

Catastrophe work often follows the storm into other states, and workers compensation, auto, and licensing rules differ by state. A program that only contemplates your home state can leave a gap the moment a crew crosses a line. Multi-state coverage and an understanding of where you may deploy are part of getting this right.

Surge labor and temporary crews

Scaling a crew quickly for a catastrophe brings temporary and subcontracted labor, which affects workers compensation exposure and audit, and can bring uninsured subcontractor payroll onto your policy. Verifying coverage and classifying payroll correctly matters more when the crew changes fast under deadline pressure.

Equipment on the move

Generators, trailers, drying equipment, and tools travel to the loss and sit on unfamiliar sites. Inland marine and equipment coverage that follows the gear, rather than a fixed location, is what protects the assets your operation depends on. Theft and damage away from your yard are common catastrophe claims.

How we handle it

We build storm and catastrophe programs that anticipate multi-state deployment, surge labor, and mobile equipment. We confirm workers compensation and auto respond where you actually work, review subcontractor risk transfer, and place equipment coverage that travels. We align the certificate and contract wording large-loss and commercial clients require.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

Does my policy cover work in other states?
Not automatically. Workers compensation, commercial auto, and licensing requirements vary by state, and a policy built only for your home state can leave a gap when crews deploy across lines for a catastrophe. Multi-state coverage and knowing where you may work are essential, and we structure the program to match your deployment.
How does surge and temporary labor affect coverage?
It raises workers compensation exposure and complicates audits, and uninsured subcontractor payroll can be charged to your policy. When you scale a crew fast for a catastrophe, verifying coverage and classifying payroll accurately protects you at audit and on claims. We help set up the risk transfer before the surge.
Is my equipment covered away from my yard?
Only if it is written to travel. Standard property tied to a fixed location does not follow generators, trailers, and drying gear to a disaster site. Inland marine and equipment coverage that moves with the gear is what responds to theft or damage away from home, which is a common catastrophe exposure.
What do large-loss clients require?
Commercial and large-loss clients often require higher limits, specific additional insured and waiver wording, and sometimes per-project aggregate. We confirm your limits and endorsements meet those requirements so you are eligible for the larger work, not turned away at the certificate stage.
