“Staying Ahead of the Storm” – Kane Discusses Storm Readiness with RoofersCoffeeShop

Adams & Reese Partner Chris Kane, who helps lead the firm’s Crisis Preparedness & Disaster Response Team, was a guest on a Roofing Road Trips® podcast, “Staying Ahead of the Storm.”

With hurricane season posing significant operational challenges, Kane discussed how roofing contractors and construction industry professionals can safeguard their crews, secure jobsites, and maintain business continuity when severe weather looms. He also provided recent legal developments that affect storm-response protocols and the latest information on disaster relief resources.
