According to leading forecasters, the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be the most active since 2012. The Weather Channel predicts a total of 15 named storms, nine hurricanes and four major hurricanes for the season, which runs from June 1 through November 30.

Preparing commercial office buildings, warehouses and shopping centers for storms is a year-round process. Planning with your property management firm should begin in January of each year, months before the threat of a hurricane is imminent. Here are some things to put on your to-do list:
