HURRICANE / STORM PREP

Storm prep is a vessel-specific routing decision, not one universal checklist.

YardSlot coordinates the service path around vessel size, present location, facility policy, haul capacity, canal/lift constraints, relocation options and time remaining before conditions deteriorate.

GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE

Coverage depends on provider reach.

Storm-prep capacity can tighten rapidly and facilities set their own cutoff times and policies. YardSlot routes only what providers and facilities confirm; it does not claim guaranteed storm-haul availability.
Florida Sea Grant advises boat owners to prepare well before storm arrival, remove movable equipment, protect lines from chafe and account for marina/dock conditions. YardSlot uses this kind of guidance to ask better routing questions, but the actual plan must match the specific vessel, location, facility rules and storm conditions.

WHEN THE PLAN HAS MULTIPLE STEPS

Keep storm movement, yard and follow-up connected.

Relocation, haul-out, storage and post-storm inspection can stay inside one coordinated service path.
