Tier 1 — Tropical Storm watch

- Pull batteries out of small boats
- Add extra dock lines, double-up at chafe points
- Top off fuel — empty tanks condense water
Tier 2 — Hurricane watch (Cat 1-2 forecast)
- Pull and trailer if you can
- If wet-slipped: cross lines, fenders, monitor
- Bring all electronics inside
- Photograph the boat for insurance
Tier 3 — Major hurricane (Cat 3+)
- Get it off the water. Wet slips don't survive a 3.
- Reserve hurricane storage and blocking with us EARLY
