Field planning guide for roofing teams
How to review storm evidence before choosing a canvassing route
A storm warning can help narrow a territory. It cannot tell you that every address in the warning area experienced the same conditions, and it does not prove that a particular roof was damaged.
Before sending a crew, compare the source label, event timing, warning footprint, available address inventory, and what your team can verify in the field.
What a warning does and does not establish
A National Weather Service warning communicates a hazard for a defined area and time. The warning may include a source label and an estimated or reported magnitude. It should be read as territory-level evidence, not an inspection result for each property inside the polygon.
The National Weather Service explains that radar indicated means a hazard is suggested by radar but has not been confirmed. Observed means it was confirmed by radar or a reliable report. Read the agency's Impact-Based Warning guidance for the official definitions.
Four checks before choosing a route
- Read the source label. Separate radar-indicated hazards from observed reports. Do not present an estimate as a property-level measurement.
- Check the event time and footprint. Confirm that the ZIP or route overlaps the relevant event area and that the timing fits your campaign.
- Review usable address inventory. A strong weather signal is not enough if the territory lacks a workable concentration of eligible residential addresses.
- Verify conditions in the field. Use the route to plan outreach. Let qualified inspection and insurance professionals make property-specific determinations.
