🎤 What Is the WPTV Panel Discussion and Why Should Commercial Property Owners Tune In?

📽️ What Will Happen at the Event?

The evening kicks off with the screening of WPTV’s powerful documentary, “The Day the Sky Turned,” which paints a vivid picture of the damage recent hurricanes have caused in Florida communities.

Then, the expert panel begins at 6:00 PM, where Calvin Johnson will focus on actionable steps homeowners and commercial property owners alike can take to storm-proof their buildings. Expect insight into structural reinforcements, preparation timelines, and high-impact inspection strategies.

Afterward, attendees will have the chance to ask questions and get personalized tips from Calvin and other experts.

If you own property in Florida, this discussion is your roadmap to safer, smarter building management.’s certified professionals who are trusted by investors, brokers, and property owners across the state.


🧱 Why Storm Preparation Is Just as Important for Commercial Properties

While homeowners often lead the conversation on hurricane prep, commercial buildings are equally vulnerable—and often more expensive to repair. Tenants, customers, staff, and inventory are all at risk during severe weather.

Here’s what can happen without proper preparation:

  • 💸 Lost revenue from prolonged closures
  • 🧾 Increased insurance claims and policy rate hikes
  • 🏚️ Expensive structural repairs
  • ⚠️ Legal liability from unsecured environments

From roof anchoring to HVAC bracing and glass reinforcement, Calvin Johnson will highlight how property owners can limit liability, lower repair costs, and demonstrate due diligence to insurers and tenants alike.

It’s not just smart—it’s essential.
