StormCheck
Hurricane readiness for the condominium board: the hurricane-protection specification vault, seasonal prep checklists dated back from June 1, an emergency contact tree that works with the power out, and a declared-emergency mode that logs each board action against the specific emergency power it exercised.

What StormCheck does
The specification vault
The adopted hurricane-protection specification, the adoption-vote evidence, per-component specs — color, style, code reference — and the county-recorded certificate where owners are required to install. Status reads as evidence on file or missing, now.
Season prep with evidence
One checklist per building per season, dated back from June 1, with assignment, due dates and evidence attachments — and overdue items surfaced when the season is on.
A contact tree that survives the storm
Priority-ordered emergency contacts with per-row owner visibility, snapshotted to the device so the list is readable with no signal — on the phone that will actually be in someone’s hand.
Declared-emergency mode
When the board acts under a declared emergency, every action is logged against the specific enumerated power it exercised — the power picker is mandatory — and mirrored to the immutable audit trail. The post-storm record of what was done, and under what authority.
The MSFC readiness indicator
How the building’s records compare with the published My Safe Florida Condominium criteria, computed from data the platform already holds and attested where it does not — a readiness picture, nothing more.
How it works
- File the adopted specification with its vote evidence and components — the vault shows what is on file and what is missing.
- Each season, start the prep checklist — items assign, date back from June 1, and carry evidence.
- Keep the contact tree current; it snapshots to devices for the day there is no signal.
- If an emergency is declared, log each board action against the power it exercised — the record writes itself as you go.
Connects to the rest of HelmHOA
HelmHOA modules share one data spine — nothing below is an export or a re-key. With StormCheck enabled:
- DateCheck — season boundaries and dated prep items overlay the calendar.
- RecordCheck — adopted specifications file into the association vault.
- ServiceCheck — owner-paid close-up counts can be recorded on a prep task.
What Florida law says
Fla. Stat. § 718.113(5) provides for board adoption of hurricane protection specifications — StormCheck stores the adopted specification and its evidence, and renders the obligation as standing, with no countdown, because the statute sets no adoption deadline. Emergency actions reference the powers enumerated in § 718.1265.

Pricing
StormCheck is included in every HelmHOA tier. One flat price per association covers it — nothing is sold separately, and there are no per-seat fees.
Every free 30-day trial is full-package — you can try StormCheck with your own building’s data before any decision.
Good to know
- The My Safe Florida Condominium indicator describes readiness against published criteria on file — never eligibility for a grant. Grant availability and awards are determined solely by the Florida Department of Financial Services.
- There is no adoption countdown anywhere in the module, because the statute sets no adoption deadline — status is whether evidence is on file now.
